VERSION

Version 0.058

SYNOPSIS

  use HTML::DOM::Exception 'INVALID_CHARACTER_ERR';

  eval {
          die new HTML::DOM::Exception
                  INVALID_CHARACTER_ERR,

  };

  $@ == INVALID_CHARACTER_ERR; # true

  print $@;    # prints "Only ASCII characters allowed!\n";

DESCRIPTION

This module implementations the W3C's DOMException and EventException interfaces. HTML::DOM::Exception objects stringify to the message passed to the constructer and numify to the error number (see below, under 'EXPORTS').

METHODS

$errr = new HTML::DOM::Exception $type, $message: This class method creates a new exception object. $type is expected to be an integer (you can use the constants listed under 'EXPORTS'). $message is the error message.
$errr->code: Returns the error code. Same as "0+$errr".

EXPORTS

The following constants are optionally exported. The descriptions are copied from the DOM spec.

INDEX_SIZE_ERR (1): If index or size is negative, or greater than the allowed value
DOMSTRING_SIZE_ERR (2): If the specified range of text does not fit into a DOMString
HIERARCHY_REQUEST_ERR (3): If any node is inserted somewhere it doesn't belong
WRONG_DOCUMENT_ERR (4): If a node is used in a different document than the one that created it (that doesn't support it)
INVALID_CHARACTER_ERR (5): If an invalid character is specified, such as in a name.
NO_DATA_ALLOWED_ERR (6): If data is specified for a node which does not support data
NO_MODIFICATION_ALLOWED_ERR (7): If an attempt is made to modify an object where modifications are not allowed
NOT_FOUND_ERR (8): If an attempt was made to reference a node in a context where it does not exist
NOT_SUPPORTED_ERR (9): If the implementation does not support the type of object requested
INUSE_ATTRIBUTE_ERR (10): If an attempt is made to add an attribute that is already inuse elsewhere
INVALID_STATE_ERR (11): If an attempt is made to use an object that is not, or is no longer, usable
SYNTAX_ERR (12): If an invalid or illegal string is specified
INVALID_MODIFICATION_ERR (13): If an attempt is made to modify the type of the underlying object
NAMESPACE_ERR (14): If an attempt is made to create or change an object in a way which is incorrect with regard to namespaces
INVALID_ACCESS_ERR (15): If a parameter or an operation is not supported by the underlying object
UNSPECIFIED_EVENT_TYPE_ERR (0): If the Event's type was not specified by initializing the event before the method was called. Specification of the Event's type as null or an empty string will also trigger this exception.
