NAME

HTML::Object::DOM::Element::Script - HTML Object DOM Script Class

SYNOPSIS

    use HTML::Object::DOM::Element::Script;
    my $script = HTML::Object::DOM::Element::Script->new || 
        die( HTML::Object::DOM::Element::Script->error, "\n" );

VERSION

    v0.2.0

DESCRIPTION

This implements the interface for <script> elements, which provides special properties and methods for manipulating the behavior and execution of <script> elements (beyond the inherited HTML::Object::Element interface).

PROPERTIES

Inherits properties from its parent HTML::Object::DOM::Element

async

The async and defer attributes are boolean attributes that control how the script should be executed. The defer and async attributes must not be specified if the src attribute is absent.

There are three possible execution modes:

1. If the async attribute is present, then the script will be executed asynchronously as soon as it downloads.
2. If the async attribute is absent but the defer attribute is present, then the script is executed when the page has finished parsing.
3. If neither attribute is present, then the script is fetched and executed immediately, blocking further parsing of the page.

The defer attribute may be specified with the async attribute, so legacy browsers that only support defer (and not async) fall back to the defer behavior instead of the default blocking behavior.

Note: The exact processing details for these attributes are complex, involving many different aspects of HTML, and therefore are scattered throughout the specification. These algorithms describe the core ideas, but they rely on the parsing rules for <script> start and end tags in HTML, in foreign content, and in XML; the rules for the document.write() method; the handling of scripting; and so on.

See also Mozilla documentation

charset

Is a string representing the character encoding of an external script. It reflects the charset attribute.

See also Mozilla documentation

crossOrigin

Is a string reflecting the CORS setting for the script element. For scripts from other origins, this controls if error information will be exposed.

See also Mozilla documentation

defer

The defer attribute may be specified even if the async attribute is specified, to cause legacy web browsers that only support defer (and not async) to fall back to the defer behavior instead of the blocking behavior that is the default.

event

Is a string; an obsolete way of registering event handlers on elements in an HTML document.

See also Mozilla documentation

noModule

Is a boolean value that if true, stops the script's execution in browsers that support ES2015 modules — used to run fallback scripts in older browsers that do not support JavaScript modules.

See also Mozilla documentation

referrerPolicy

Is a string that reflects the referrerpolicy HTML attribute indicating which referrer to use when fetching the script, and fetches done by that script.

Example:

    my $scriptElem = $doc->createElement( 'script' );
    $scriptElem->src = '/';
    $scriptElem->referrerPolicy = 'unsafe-url';
    $doc->body->appendChild( $scriptElem );

See also Mozilla documentation

src

Is a string representing the URL of an external script. It reflects the src HTML attribute. You can get and set an URI object.

See also Mozilla documentation

text

Is a string that joins and returns the contents of all Text nodes inside the <script> element (ignoring other nodes like comments) in tree order. On setting, it acts the same way as the textContent IDL attribute.

Note: When inserted using the document.write() method, <script> elements execute (typically synchronously), but when inserted using innerHTML or outerHTML, they do not execute at all.

See also Mozilla documentation

type

Is a string representing the MIME type of the script. It reflects the type HTML attribute.
