normalize Method
 | |
Merges adjacent TextNode objects to produce a normalized document object model. Syntax object.normalize()
Return Value No return value.
Remarks Calling object.normalize before manipulating the subelements of an object ensures that the document object model has a consistent structure. The normal form is useful for operations that require a consistent document tree structure, and it ensures that the document object model view is identical when saved and reloaded.
Note Adjacent>CDATA sections will not be merged by the normalize method, allowing for an inconsistent object model when CDATA sections are present.
