Join Christian Hur for an in-depth discussion in this video nodeType and nodeName properties, part of The DOM in JavaScript, jQuery, AngularJS, and React.
- [Instructor] I want to go over two special properties…of the node class, the nodeType…and nodeName.…Now the nodeType is a property that…represents the type of node…and it returns an integer value assigned…to a particular type of node.…This type of node is also the read-only property,…which means that you cannot change its value.…Now the other one the nodeName property…is one that would return the name of…a current node that you're trying to select.…This is also a read-only property,…which means you cannot change its value.…
Now these two nodes are really interesting,…they're really important, because…sometimes you want to use them to get…a certain type of node or get their values…to make a certain decision based on the type of…node that you want to select.…Every object in the DOM is a node…and so it turns out that there are about…12 different types of nodes and there used to be more,…but many of them are now deprecated and they're low in use.…So the question is how do you find out what they are…and what they are called?…
