Properties

String data

The content of the processing instruction (i.e., the first non-space character after the target up to but not including the closing ?>).

readonly String target

The target of the processing instruction. This is the first identifier that follows the opening <?; it specifies the "processor" for which the processing instruction is intended.

Description

This infrequently used interface represents a processing instruction (or PI) in an XML document. Programmers working with HTML documents will never encounter a ProcessingInstruction node.
