Divides a text node at the specified index.
Syntaxvar textNode = textNode.splitText();
Parameters offset
The index of the string that indicates where the separation occurs. If a value is not provided, a new text node with no value is created.
Return ValueReturns an object of type DOM NodeDOM Node
A text node object.
ExamplesThis example uses the splitText method to divide a text node in half in a ul object. When the text node splits, the createElement method creates a new li object. The appendChild method appends the new li element and the split text node to the ul object.
<script>
function fnSplitNode(){
var oNode=oList.firstChild.childNodes(0);
var oNewNode=document.createElement("LI");
var oSplitNode = oNode.splitText(oNode.nodeValue.length/2);
oList.appendChild(oNewNode);
oNewNode.appendChild(oSplitNode);
}
</script>
<ul onclick="fnSplitNode()" id="oList">
<li>This is a list item.</li>
</ul>
Notes
The text node that invokes the splitText method has a nodeValue equal to the substring of the value, from zero to offset. The new text node has a nodeValue of the substring of the original value, from the specified index to the value length. Text node integrity is not preserved when the document is saved or persisted.
