Non-standard (Microsoft)
Sets or retrieves a value indicating whether arbitrary variables can be created within the object.
Note: You can extend the properties on an object by creating arbitrary properties with values. You should be careful, however, because you can unintentionally set a property value when scripting in a case-sensitive language such as Microsoft JScript. For example, if the property value is borderColor and you type the value "bordercolor = 'blue'", you have, in fact, created another property on the style object called bordercolor with the value 'blue'. If you query the value of the property, the value "blue" is returned. However, the borders for the element do not turn blue.
Note: Setting the expando property of the document object to false precludes the functionality of all expandos within the document.
The default value is true.

isId:Boolean [read-only] | Introduced in: | DOM 3 Core |
Returns whether this attribute is known to be of type ID (i.e. to contain an identifier for its owner element) or not.
When it is and its value is unique, the ownerElement of this attribute can be retrieved using the method Document.getElementById.
public function get isId():BooleanSee also
| DOM 1 Core name | property |
name:DOMString [read-only] | Introduced in: | DOM 1 Core |
Returns the name of this attribute. If Node.localName is different from null, this attribute is a qualified name.
Note (IE8): Internet Explorer 8 and later. In IE8 mode, dynamically setting the name attribute on an input type=radio button correctly applies that button to the same named group.
Note (IE): When submitting a form, use the name property to bind the value of the control. The name is not the value displayed for the input type=button, input type=reset, and input type=submit input types. The internally stored value is submitted with the form, not the displayed value.
Note (IE): Microsoft JScript allows the name to be changed at run time. This does not cause the name in the programming model to change in the collection of elements, but it does change the name used for submitting elements.
Note (IE8): Internet Explorer 8 and later can set the NAME attribute at run time on elements dynamically created with the createElement method. To create an element with a NAME attribute in earlier versions of Internet Explorer, include the attribute and its value when using the createElement method.

ownerElement:Element [read-only] | Introduced in: | DOM 2 Core |
The Element node this attribute is attached to or null if this attribute is not in use.
Note (IE8): This property is new as of Internet Explorer 8.

| DOM 3 Core schemeTypeInfo | property |
schemeTypeInfo:TypeInfo [read-only] | Introduced in: | DOM 3 Core |
The type information associated with this attribute.
While the type information contained in this attribute is guarantee to be correct after loading the document or invoking Document.normalizeDocument(), schemaTypeInfo may not be reliable if the node was moved.
public function get schemeTypeInfo():TypeInfoSee also
| DOM 1 Core specified | property |
specified:Boolean [read-only] [override] | Introduced in: | DOM 1 Core |
True if this attribute was explicitly given a value in the instance document, false otherwise.
If the application changed the value of this attribute node (even if it ends up having the same value as the default value) then it is set to true. The implementation may handle attributes with default values from other schemas similarly but applications should use Document.normalizeDocument() to guarantee this information is up-to-date.

</ul>| DOM 1 Core value | property |
value:DOMString| Introduced in: | DOM 1 Core |
On retrieval, the value of the attribute is returned as a string. Character and general entity references are replaced with their values.
On setting, this creates a Text node with the unparsed contents of the string, i.e. any characters that an XML processor would recognize as markup are instead treated as literal text.
Note (IE8): Internet Explorer 8 or later. In IE8 mode, the value property is correctly reported as a canonical attribute name. For example, <input type="text" readonly> and <input type="text" readonly="readonly"> would both set the input text field to read-only. In IE8 mode, the value is evaluated as a cannonical value, "readonly". In earlier document compatibility modes, it is evaluated as a Boolean value, true.
public function get value():DOMString public function set value(value:DOMString):voidDOMException — NO_MODIFICATION_ALLOWED_ERR: Raised when
the node is readonly.

| DOMNodeInserted | Event |
dom.events.MutationEventDOMNodeInsertedA node has been added as a child of another node or, in case of Attr nodes, has been added to an Element. This event is dispatched after the insertion has taken place. The target node of this event is the node being inserted.
| DOMNodeInsertedIntoDocument | Event |
dom.events.MutationEventDOMNodeInsertedIntoDocumentA node has been inserted into a document, either through direct insertion of the node or insertion of a subtree in which it is contained; Attr nodes are considered part of an Element's subtree. This event is dispatched after the insertion has taken place. The target node of this event is the node being inserted. If the node is being directly inserted, the event type DOMNodeInserted occurs before this event type.
| DOMNodeRemoved | Event |
dom.events.MutationEventDOMNodeRemovedA node is being removed from its parent node or, in case of Attr nodes, removed from its ownerElement. This event is dispatched before the removal takes place. The target node of this event is the node being removed.
| DOMNodeRemovedFromDocument | Event |
dom.events.MutationEventDOMNodeRemovedFromDocumentA node is being removed from a document, either through direct removal of the node or removal of a subtree in which it is contained; Attr nodes are considered part of an Element's subtree. This event is dispatched before the removal takes place. The target node of this event type is the node being removed. If the node is being directly removed, the event type DOMNodeRemoved occurs before this event type.
| DOMSubtreeModified | Event |
dom.events.MutationEventDOMSubtreeModifiedThis is a general event for notification of all changes to the document. It can be used instead of the more specific mutation and mutation name events listed below. It may be dispatched after a single modification to the document or, at the implementation's discretion, after multiple changes have occurred. The latter use should generally be used to accommodate multiple changes which occur either simultaneously or in rapid succession. The target of this event is the lowest common parent of the changes which have taken place. This event is dispatched after any other events caused by the mutation(s) have occurred.
