DOM 3 Core severityproperty 
severity:Number  [read-only]

Introduced in: DOM 3 Core 

The severity of the error, either SEVERITY_WARNING, SEVERITY_ERROR, or SEVERITY_FATAL_ERROR.


Implementation
    public function get severity():Number

DOM 3 Core typeproperty 
type:DOMString  [read-only]

Introduced in: DOM 3 Core 

A DOMString indicating which related data is expected in relatedData. Users should refer to the specification of the error in order to find its DOMString type and relatedData definitions if any.

Note: As an example, Document.normalizeDocument() does generate warnings when the "split-cdata-sections" parameter is in use. Therefore, the method generates a SEVERITY_WARNING with type "cdata-sections-splitted" and the first CDATASection node in document order resulting from the split is returned by the relatedData attribute.


Implementation
    public function get type():DOMString

Constant Detail
DOM 3 Core SEVERITY_ERRORConstant
public static const SEVERITY_ERROR:Number = 2

Introduced in: DOM 3 Core 

The severity of the error described by the DOMError is error.

A SEVERITY_ERROR may not cause the processing to stop if the error can be recovered, unless DOMErrorHandler.handleError() returns false.

See also

DOM 3 Core SEVERITY_FATAL_ERRORConstant 
public static const SEVERITY_FATAL_ERROR:Number = 3

Introduced in: DOM 3 Core 

The severity of the error described by the DOMError is fatal error.

A SEVERITY_FATAL_ERROR will cause the normal processing to stop. The return value of DOMErrorHandler.handleError() is ignored unless the implementation chooses to continue, in which case the behavior becomes undefined.

See also

DOM 3 Core SEVERITY_WARNINGConstant 
public static const SEVERITY_WARNING:Number = 1

Introduced in: DOM 3 Core 

The severity of the error described by the DOMError is warning.

A SEVERITY_WARNING will not cause the processing to stop, unless DOMErrorHandler.handleError() returns false.
