=head1 NAME
HTML::DOM - A Perl implementation of the HTML Document Object Model
=head1 VERSION
Version 0.057 (alpha)
B<WARNING:> This module is still at an experimental stage. The API is
subject to change without
notice.
=head1 SYNOPSIS
use HTML::DOM;
my $dom_tree = new HTML::DOM; # empty tree
$dom_tree->write($source_code);
$dom_tree->close;
my $other_dom_tree = new HTML::DOM;
$other_dom_tree->parse_file($filename);
$dom_tree->getElementsByTagName('body')->[0]->appendChild(
$dom_tree->createElement('input')
);
print $dom_tree->innerHTML, "\n";
my $text = $dom_tree->createTextNode('text');
$text->data; # get attribute
$text->data('new value'); # set attribute
=head1 DESCRIPTION
This module implements the HTML Document Object Model by extending the
HTML::Tree modules. The HTML::DOM class serves both as an HTML parser and
as the document class.
The following DOM modules are currently supported:
Feature Version (aka level)
------- -------------------
HTML 2.0
Core 2.0
Events 2.0
UIEvents 2.0
MouseEvents 2.0
MutationEvents 2.0
HTMLEvents 2.0
StyleSheets 2.0
CSS 2.0 (partially)
CSS2 2.0
Views 2.0
StyleSheets, CSS and CSS2 are actually provided by L<CSS::DOM>. This list
corresponds to CSS::DOM versions 0.02 to 0.14.
=for comment
Level 2 interfaces not yet included: Range, Traversal
=head1 METHODS
=head2 Construction and Parsing
=over 4
=item $tree = new HTML::DOM %options;
This class method constructs and returns a new HTML::DOM object. The
C<%options>, which are all optional, are as follows:
=over 4
=item url
The value that the C<URL> method will return. This value is also used by
the C<domain> method.
=item referrer
The value that the C<referrer> method will return
=item response
An HTTP::Response object. This will be used for information needed for
writing cookies. It is expected to have a reference to a request object
(accessible via its C<request> method--see L<HTTP::Response>). Passing a
parameter to the 'cookie' method will be a no-op
without this.
=item weaken_response
If this is passed a true value, then the HTML::DOM object will hold a weak
reference to the response.
=item cookie_jar
An HTTP::Cookies object. As with C<response>, if you omit this, arguments
passed to the
C<cookie> method will be ignored.
=item charset
The original character set of the document. This does not affect parsing
via the C<write> method (which always assumes Unicode). C<parse_file> will
use this, if specified, or L<HTML::Encoding> otherwise.
L<HTML::DOM::Form>'s C<make_request> method uses this to encode form data
unless the form has a valid 'accept-charset' attribute.
=back
If C<referrer> and C<url> are omitted, they can be inferred from
C<response>.

# This HTML::DOM::Element::HTML package represents the
# documentElement. It inherits from
# HTML::DOM::_TreeBuilder and acts
# as the parser. It is also used as a parser for innerHTML.
# Note for potential developers: You can’t refer to ->parent in
# this package and expect it to provide the document, because
# that’s not the case with innerHTML. Use ->ownerDocument.
# Use ->parent only to distinguish between innerHTML and
# the regular parser.
# Concerning magic associations between forms and fields: To cope
# with bad markup, an implicitly closed form (with no end tag) is
# associated with any form fields that occur after that are not
# inside any form. So when a start tag for a form is encountered,
# we make that the ‘current form’, by pushing it on to
# @{ $$self{_HTML_DOM_cf} }. When the element is closed, if it
# is closed by an end tag, we simply pop it off the cf array. If
# it is implicitly closed we pop it off and also make it the
# ‘magic form’ (_HTML_DOM_mg_f). When we encounter a form field,
# we give it a magic association with the form if the cf
# stack is empty.

=item $tree->elem_handler($elem_name => sub { ... })
If you call this method first, then, when the DOM tree is in the
process of
being built (as a result of a call to C<write> or C<parse_file>), the
subroutine will be called after each C<$elem_name> element
is
added to the tree. If you give '*' as the element name, the subroutine
will be called for each element that does not have a handler. The
subroutine's
two arguments will be the tree itself
and the element in question. The subroutine can call the DOM object's
C<write>
method to insert HTML code into the source after the element.
Here is a lame example (which does not take Content-Script-Type headers
or security into account):
$tree->elem_handler(script => sub {
my($document,$elem) = @_;
return unless $elem->attr('type') eq 'application/x-perl';
eval($elem->firstChild->data);
});
$tree->write(
'<p>The time is
<script type="application/x-perl">
$document->write(scalar localtime)
</script>
precisely.
</p>'
);
$tree->close;
print $tree->documentElement->as_text, "\n";
(Note: L<HTML::DOM::Element>'s
L<C<content_offset>|HTML::DOM::Element/content_offset> method might come in
handy for reporting line numbers for script errors.)

=item css_url_fetcher( \&sub )
With this method you can provide a subroutine that fetches URLs referenced
by 'link' tags. Its sole argument is the URL, which is made absolute based
on the HTML page's own base URL (it is assumed that this is absolute). It
should return C<undef> or an empty list on failure. Upon
success, it should return just the CSS code, if it has been decoded (and is
in Unicode), or, if it has not been decoded, the CSS code followed by
C<< decode => 1 >>. See L<CSS::DOM/STYLE SHEET ENCODING> for details on
when you should or should not decode it. (Note that HTML::DOM
automatically
provides an encoding hint based on the HTML document.)
HTML::DOM passes the result of the url fetcher to L<CSS::DOM> and
turns
it into a style sheet object accessible via the link element's
L<C<sheet>|HTML::DOM::Element::Link/sheet> method.
=cut
sub css_url_fetcher {
my $old = (my $self = shift)->{_HTML_DOM_cuf};
$self->{_HTML_DOM_cuf} = shift if @_;
$old||();
}
=item $tree->write(...) (DOM method)
This parses the HTML code passed to it, adding it to the end of
the
document. It assumes that its input is a normal Perl Unicode string. Like
L<HTML::TreeBuilder>'s
C<parse> method, it can take a coderef.
When it is called from an an element handler (see
C<elem_handler>, above), the value passed to it
will be inserted into the HTML code after the current element when the
element handler returns. (In this case a coderef won't do--maybe that will
be added later.)
If the C<close> method has been called, C<write> will call C<open> before
parsing the HTML code passed to it.
=item $tree->writeln(...) (DOM method)
Just like C<write> except that it appends "\n" to its argument and does
not work with code refs. (Rather
pointless, if you ask me. :-)
=item $tree->close() (DOM method)
Call this method to signal to the parser that the end of the HTML code has
been reached. It will then parse any residual HTML that happens to be
buffered. It also makes the next C<write> call C<open>.
=item $tree->open (DOM method)
Deletes the HTML tree, resetting it so that it has just an <html> element,
and a parser hungry for HTML code.
=item $tree->parse_file($file)
This method takes a file name or handle and parses the content,
(effectively) calling C<close> afterwards. In the former case (a file
name), L<HTML::Encoding> will be used to detect the encoding. In the
latter (a file handle), you'll have to C<binmode> it yourself. This could
be considered a bug. If you have a solution to this (how to make
HTML::Encoding detect an encoding from a file handle), please let me know.
As of version 0.12, this method returns true upon success, or undef/empty
list on failure.
=item $tree->charset
This method returns the name of the character
set that was passed to C<new>, or, if that was not given, that which
C<parse_file> used.
It returns undef if C<new> was not given a charset and if C<parse_file> was
not
used or was
passed a file handle.
You can also set the charset by passing an argument, in which case the old
value is returned.

=item alinkColor

These six methods return (optionally set) the corresponding attributes of
the body element. Note that most of the names do not map directly to the
names of
the attributes. C<fgColor> refers to the C<text> attribute. Those that
end
with 'linkColor' refer to the attributes of the same name but without the

=item title
Returns (or optionally sets) the title of the page.
=item referrer

=item domain

=item URL
Returns the document's URL.
=item body
Returns the body element, or the outermost frame set if the document has
frames. You can set the body by passing an element as an argument, in
which
case the old body element is returned.
=item images
=item applets
=item links
=item forms
=item anchors
These five methods each return a list of the appropriate elements in list
context, or an L<HTML::DOM::Collection> object in scalar context. In this
latter case, the object will update automatically when the document is
modified.
In the case of C<forms> you can access those by using the HTML::DOM object
itself as a hash. I.e., you can write C<< $doc->{f} >> instead of
S<< C<< $doc->forms->{f} >> >>.
=for comment
# ~~~ Why on earth did I ever put this in the docs?!
B<TO DO:> I need to make these methods cache the HTML collection objects
that they create. Once I've done this, I can make list context use those
objects, as well as scalar context.
=item cookie
This returns a string containing the document's cookies (the format may
still change). If you pass an
argument, it
will set a cookie as well. Both Netscape-style and RFC2965-style cookie
headers are supported.

=item lastModified
This method returns the document's modification date as gleaned from the
response object passed to the constructor, in MM/DD/YYYY HH:MM:SS format.
If there is no modification date, an empty string is returned, but this
may change in the future.
=begin comment
When there is no modification date, the return value is different in every
browser.
NS 2-4 and Opera 9 have the epoch (in GMT format).
Firefox 3 has the time the page was loaded.
Safari 4 has an empty string (it uses GMT format when there is a mod time).
IE, 6-8 the only one to comply with HTML 5, has the current time; but HTML
5 is illogical, since it makes no sense for the modification time to keep
ticking away.
I’ve opted to use the empty string for now, since we can’t *really* find
out the modification time--only what the server *says* it is. And if the
server doesn’t say, it’s no use pretending that it did say it.

=head1 HASH ACCESS
You can use an HTML::DOM object as a hash ref to access it's form elements
by name. So C<< $doc->{yayaya} >> is short for
S<< C<< $doc->forms->{yayaya} >> >>.
=head1 EVENT HANDLING
HTML::DOM supports both the DOM Level 2 event model and the HTML 4 event
model.
Throughout this documentation, we make use of HTML 5's distinction between
handlers and listeners: An event handler is the result of an HTML element
beginning with 'on', e.g. onsubmit. These are also accessible via the DOM.
(We also use the word 'handler' in other contexts, such as the 'default
event handler'.)
Event listeners are registered solely with the C<addEventListener> method
and can be removed with C<removeEventListener>.
HTML::DOM accepts as an event handler a coderef, an object with a
C<call_with> method, or an object with C<&{}> overloading. If the
C<call_with> method is present, it is called with the current event
target as the first argument and the event object as the second.
This is to allow for objects that wrap JavaScript functions (which must be called with the event target as the B<this> value).
An event listener is a coderef, an object with a C<handleEvent>
method or an object with C<&{}> overloading. HTML::DOM does not implement
any classes that provide a C<handleEvent> method, but will support any
object that has one.
Listeners and handlers differ in one important aspect. A listener has to
call C<preventDefault> on the event object to cancel the default action. A
handler simply returns a defined false value (except for mouseover events,
which must return a true value to cancel the default).
=head2 Default Actions
Default actions that HTML::DOM is capable of handling internally (such as
triggering a DOMActivate event when an element is clicked, and triggering a
form's submit event when the submit button is activated) are dealt with
automatically. You don't have to worry about those. For others, read
on....
To specify the default actions associated with an event, provide a
subroutine (in this case, it not being part of the DOM, you can't use an
object with a C<handleEvent> method) via the C<default_event_handler_for>
and
C<default_event_handler> methods.
With the former, you can specify the
default action to be taken when a particular type of event occurs. The
currently supported types are:
submit when a form is submitted
link called when a link is activated (DOMActivate event)
Pass the type of event as the first argument and a code ref as the second
argument. When the code ref is called, its sole argument will
be the event object. For instance:
$dom_tree->default_event_handler_for( link => sub {
my $event = shift;
go_to( $event->target->href );
});
sub go_to { ... }
C<default_event_handler_for> with just one argument returns the
currently
assigned coderef. With two arguments it returns the old one after
assigning the new one.
Use C<default_event_handler> (without the C<_for>) to specify a fallback
subroutine that will be used for events not in the list above, and for
events in the list above that do not have subroutines assigned to them.
Without any arguments it will return the currently
assigned coderef. With an argument it will return the old one after
assigning the new one.
=head2 Dispatching Events
HTML::DOM::Node's C<dispatchEvent> method triggers the appropriate event
listeners, but does B<not> call any default actions associated with it.
The return value is a boolean that indicates whether the default action
should be taken.
H:D:Node's C<trigger_event> method will trigger the event for real. It will
call C<dispatchEvent> and, provided it returns true, will call the default
event handler.
=head2 HTML Event Attributes
The C<event_attr_handler> can be used to assign a coderef that will turn
text assigned to an event attribute (e.g., C<onclick>) into an event
handler. The
arguments to the routine will be (0) the element, (1) the name (aka
type) of
the event (without the initial 'on'), (2) the value of the attribute and
(3) the offset within the source of the attribute's value. (Actually, if
the value is within quotes, it is the offset of the first quotation mark.
Also, it will be C<undef> for generated HTML [source code passed to the
C<write> method by an element handler].)
As
with C<default_event_handler>, you
can replace an existing handler with a new one, in which case the old
handler is returned. If you call this method without arguments, it returns
the current handler. Here is an example of its use, that assumes that
handlers are Perl code:
$dom_tree->event_attr_handler(sub {
my($elem, $name, $code, $offset) = @_;
my $sub = eval "sub { $code }";
return sub {
local *_ = \$elem;
&$sub;
};
});
The event attribute handler will be called whenever an element attribute
whose name
begins with 'on' (case-tolerant) is modified. (For efficiency's sake, I may
change it to call the event attribute handler only when the event is
triggered, so it is not called unnecessarily.)
=head2 When an Event Handler Dies
Use C<error_handler> to assign a coderef that will be called whenever an
event listener (or handler) raises an error. The error will be contained in
C<$@>.
=head2 Other Event-Related Methods
=over
=item $tree->event_parent
=item $tree->event_parent( $new_val )
This method lets you provide an object that is added to the top of the
event dispatch chain. E.g., if you want the view object (the value of
C<defaultView>, aka the window) to have event handlers called before the
document in the capture phase, and after it in the bubbling phase, you can
set it like this (see also L</defaultView>, above):
$tree->event_parent( $tree->defaultView );
This holds a weak reference.
=item $tree->event_listeners_enabled
=item $tree->event_listeners_enabled( $new_val )
This attribute, which is true by default, can be used to disable event
handlers and listeners. (Default event handlers [see above] still run,
though.)

Not listed above is L<HTML::DOM::EventTarget>, which is a base class both
for L<HTML::DOM::Node> and L<HTML::DOM::Attr>. The format I'm using above
doesn't allow for multiple inheritance, so I probably need to redo it.
HTML::DOM::Node also implements the L<HTML::Element> interface, but with a
few
differences. In particular:
=over
=item *
Any methods that expect text nodes to be just strings are unreliable. See
the note under L<HTML::Element/objectify_text>.
=item *
HTML::Element's tree-manipulation methods don't trigger mutation events.
=item *
HTML::Element's C<delete> method is not necessary, because
HTML::DOM uses weak references (for 'upward' references in the object
tree).

=over 4
=item *
Objects' attributes are accessed via methods of the same name. When the
method
is invoked, the current value is returned. If an argument is supplied, the
attribute is set (unless it is read-only) and its old value returned.
=item *
Where the DOM spec. says to use null, undef or an empty list is used.
=item *
Instead of UTF-16 strings, HTML::DOM uses Perl's Unicode strings (which
happen to be stored as UTF-8 internally). The only significant difference
this makes is to C<length>, C<substringData> and other methods of Text and
Comment nodes. These methods behave in a Perlish way (i.e., the offsets and
lengths are specified in Unicode characters, not in UTF-16 bytes). The
alternate methods C<length16>, C<substringData16> I<et al.> use UTF-16 for
offsets
and are standards-compliant in that regard (but the string returned by
C<substringData16> is still a regular Perl string).
=begin for-me
# ~~~ These need to be documented in the man pages for Comment and Text
C<length16>, C<substringData16>
C<insertData16>, C<deleteData16>, C<replaceData16> and C<splitText16>.
=end for-me
=item *
Each method that returns a NodeList will return a NodeList
object in scalar context, or a simple list in list context. You can use
the object as an array ref in addition to calling its C<item> and
C<length> methods.
=item *
In cases where a method is supposed to return something implementing
the DOMTimeStamp interface, a simple Perl scalar is returned, containing
the time as returned by Perl’s built-in C<time> function.

=head1 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
Much of the code was stolen from HTML::Tree. In fact, HTML::DOM used to
extend HTML::Tree, but the two were merged to allow a whole pile of
hacks to be removed.
=for comment
Actually, they haven’t been removed yet, but are still present.
HTML::Element and HTML::TreeBuilder have simply been forked so far. The
code still needs refactoring.

=item -
Element handlers are not currently called during assignments to
C<innerHTML>.
=item -
L<HTML::DOM::View>'s C<getComputedStyle> does not currently return a
read-only style object; nor are lengths converted to absolute values.
Currently there is no way to specify the medium. Any style rules that apply
to specific media are ignored.
