Here is a list of the available node types:

The DOM level 2 specification adds the following methods:

• supports()

• normalize()

It also adds the following properties:

• namespaceURI

• prefix

• localName

At DOM level 3, the interface to the Node object is expected to evolve further to allow nodes to be compared and to be able to extract a serialized version of a DOM tree branch into a string primitive. This functionality is still under review as this is being written. The following additional properties are expected to be supported:

• baseURI

• textContent

• key

DOM level 3 is expected to add the following methods to the Node object:

• compareDocumentOrder()

• compareTreePosition()

• isSameNode()

• lookupNamespacePrefix()

• lookupNamespaceURI

• normalizeNS()

• setUserData()

• getUserData()

If the implementation supports the DOM level 2 event model (this is the case with Netscape 6.0), then the Node object should also support the methods and properties defined by the EventTarget object.
