Constructor Detail

DomElement

protected DomElement(Document owner,
                     String namespaceURI,
                     String name)
Constructs an Element node associated with the specified document.

This constructor should only be invoked by a Document as part of its createElement functionality, or through a subclass which is similarly used in a "Sub-DOM" style layer.

Parameters:
owner - The document with which this node is associated
namespaceURI - Combined with the local part of the name, this is used to uniquely identify a type of element
name - Name of this element, which may include a prefix
Method Detail

getAttributes

public NamedNodeMap getAttributes()
DOM L1 Returns the element's attributes

Specified by:
getAttributes in interface Node
Overrides:
getAttributes in class DomNode

hasAttributes

public boolean hasAttributes()
DOM L2> Returns true iff this is an element node with attributes.

Specified by:
hasAttributes in interface Node
Overrides:
hasAttributes in class DomNode

clone

public Object clone()
Shallow clone of the element, except that associated attributes are (deep) cloned.

Overrides:
clone in class DomNode

makeReadonly

public void makeReadonly()
Marks this element, its children, and its associated attributes as readonly.

Overrides:
makeReadonly in class DomNode

getTagName

public final String getTagName()
DOM L1 Returns the element name (same as getNodeName).

Specified by:
getTagName in interface Element

getNodeType

public final short getNodeType()
DOM L1 Returns the constant ELEMENT_NODE.

Specified by:
getNodeType in interface Node

getAttribute

public String getAttribute(String name)
DOM L1 Returns the value of the specified attribute, or an empty string.

Specified by:
getAttribute in interface Element

hasAttribute

public boolean hasAttribute(String name)
DOM L2 Returns true if the element has an attribute with the specified name (specified or DTD defaulted).

Specified by:
hasAttribute in interface Element

hasAttributeNS

public boolean hasAttributeNS(String namespaceURI,
                              String local)
DOM L2 Returns true if the element has an attribute with the specified name (specified or DTD defaulted).

Specified by:
hasAttributeNS in interface Element

getAttributeNS

public String getAttributeNS(String namespaceURI,
                             String local)
DOM L2 Returns the value of the specified attribute, or an empty string.

Specified by:
getAttributeNS in interface Element

getAttributeNode

public Attr getAttributeNode(String name)
DOM L1 Returns the appropriate attribute node; the name is the nodeName property of the attribute.

Specified by:
getAttributeNode in interface Element

getAttributeNodeNS

public Attr getAttributeNodeNS(String namespace,
                               String localPart)
DOM L2 Returns the appropriate attribute node; the name combines the namespace name and the local part.

Specified by:
getAttributeNodeNS in interface Element

setAttribute

public void setAttribute(String name,
                         String value)
DOM L1 Modifies an existing attribute to have the specified value, or creates a new one with that value. The name used is the nodeName value.

Specified by:
setAttribute in interface Element

setAttributeNS

public void setAttributeNS(String uri,
                           String aname,
                           String value)
DOM L2 Modifies an existing attribute to have the specified value, or creates a new one with that value.

Specified by:
setAttributeNS in interface Element

setAttributeNode

public Attr setAttributeNode(Attr attr)
DOM L1 Stores the specified attribute, optionally overwriting any existing one with that name.

Specified by:
setAttributeNode in interface Element

setAttributeNodeNS

public Attr setAttributeNodeNS(Attr attr)
DOM L2 Stores the specified attribute, optionally overwriting any existing one with that name.

Specified by:
setAttributeNodeNS in interface Element

removeAttribute

public void removeAttribute(String name)
DOM L1 Removes the appropriate attribute node. If there is no such node, this is (bizarrely enough) a NOP so you won't see exceptions if your code deletes non-existent attributes.

Note that since there is no portable way for DOM to record DTD information, default values for attributes will never be provided automatically.

Specified by:
removeAttribute in interface Element

removeAttributeNode

public Attr removeAttributeNode(Attr node)
DOM L1 Removes the appropriate attribute node; the name is the nodeName property of the attribute.

Note that since there is no portable way for DOM to record DTD information, default values for attributes will never be provided automatically.

Specified by:
removeAttributeNode in interface Element

removeAttributeNS

public void removeAttributeNS(String namespace,
                              String localPart)
DOM L2 Removes the appropriate attribute node; the name combines the namespace name and the local part.

Note that since there is no portable way for DOM to record DTD information, default values for attributes will never be provided automatically.

Specified by:
removeAttributeNS in interface Element
