| Inheritance | ProcessingInstruction  Node Object |
| Introduced in: | DOM 1 Core |
A Processing instruction is distinct from a XML Declaration which is used for other information about the document such as encoding and which appear (if it does) as the first item in the document.
User-defined processing instructions cannot begin with 'xml', as these are reserved (e.g., as used in <?xml-stylesheet ?>).

| Event | Summary | Defined By | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Occurs after CharacterData.data or ProcessingInstruction.data have been modified but the node itself has not been inserted or deleted. | ProcessingInstruction | |||
| A node has been added as a child of another node or, in case of Attr nodes, has been added to an Element. | ProcessingInstruction | |||
| A 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. | ProcessingInstruction | |||

public function get target():DOMStringSee also
| DOMCharacterDataModified | Event |
dom.events.MutationEventDOMCharacterDataModifiedOccurs after CharacterData.data or ProcessingInstruction.data have been modified but the node itself has not been inserted or deleted. The target node of this event is the CharacterData node or the ProcessingInstruction node.
| 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.
