Public propertyFirstChild
The first child of this node. If there is no such node, this returns null.
Public propertyLastChild
The last child of this node. If there is no such node, this returns null.
Public propertyLocalName

Public propertyNamespaceURI
The namespace URI of this node, or null if it is unspecified.
Public propertyNextSibling

Public propertyNodeType
A code representing the type of the underlying object.
Public propertyNodeValue
