| Introduced in: | DOM 1 Core |
| Modified in: | DOM 2 Core |
Note: DOM Level 3 doesn't support editing DocumentType nodes. DocumentType nodes are read-only.
Note (Mozilla): This interface is not fully supported in Mozilla at present, including for indicating internalSubset information which Gecko generally does otherwise support.

| DOM 1 Core entities | property |
Hide Inherited Public Properties
Show Inherited Public Propertiesentities:NamedNodeMap [read-only] | Introduced in: | DOM 1 Core |
A NamedNodeMap containing the general entities, both external and internal, declared in the DTD. Parameter entities are not contained. Duplicates are discarded.
Internal (Parsed) Entities define entity references in order to replace certain strings by a replacement text. The content of the entity is given in the declaration.
External (Parsed) Entities refer to external storage objects.
Note: The DOM Level 2 does not support editing entities, therefore entities cannot be altered in any way.

internalSubset:DOMString [read-only] | Introduced in: | DOM 2 Core |
The internal subset as a string, or null if there is none. This is does not contain the delimiting square brackets.
Note: The actual content returned depends on how much information is available to the implementation. This may vary depending on various parameters, including the XML processor used to build the document.

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.
