Obsolete
This feature is obsolete. Although it may still work in some browsers, its use is discouraged since it could be removed at any time. Try to avoid using it.
The NodeIterator.detach()
method is a no-op, kept for
backward compatibility only.
Originally, it detached the NodeIterator
from the set over which it
iterates, releasing any resources used by the set and setting the iterator's state to
INVALID
. Once this method had been called, calls to other methods on
NodeIterator
would raise the INVALID_STATE_ERR
exception.
Syntax
nodeIterator.detach();
Example
var nodeIterator = document.createNodeIterator( document.body, NodeFilter.SHOW_ELEMENT, { acceptNode: function(node) { return NodeFilter.FILTER_ACCEPT; } }, false ); nodeIterator.detach(); // detaches the iterator nodeIterator.nextNode(); // throws an INVALID_STATE_ERR exception
