::class xmlElement public subclass xmlNode

CLASS: xmlElement

The Element interface represents an element in an HTML or XML document. Elements may have attributes associated with
them; since the Element interface inherits from Node, the generic Node interface attribute attributes may be used to
retrieve the set of all attributes for an element. There are methods on the Element interface to retrieve either an
Attr object by name or an attribute value by name. In XML, where an attribute value may contain entity references, an
Attr object should be retrieved to examine the possibly fairly complex sub-tree representing the attribute value. On
the other hand, in HTML, where all attributes have simple string values, methods to directly access an attribute value
can safely be used as a convenience.

Note: In DOM Level 2, the method normalize is inherited from the Node interface where it was moved.

Definition at line 1724 of xmlDOM.cls

xmlElement::method getAttributeNodeNS

Retrieves an Attr node by local name and namespace URI.

Per [XML Namespaces], applications must use the value null as the namespaceURI parameter for methods if they wish to
have no namespace.

Assumption: Attributes can not have a default namespace, thus need a prefix if they belong to a certain namespace.
Assumption: A namespace can have multiple prefixes.

wish to have no namespace.

Assumption: Attributes can not have a default namespace, thus need a prefix if they belong to a certain namespace.
Assumption: A namespace can have multiple prefixes.

Parameters
namespaceURI=.nil - The namespace URI of the attribute to look for.

xmlElement::method removeAttribute

Removes an attribute by name.
NOT supported here:
(If a default value for the removed attribute is defined in the DTD, a new attribute immediately appears with the
default value as well as the corresponding namespace URI, local name, and prefix when applicable. The implementation
may handle default values from other schemas similarly but applications should use Document.normalizeDocument() to
guarantee this information is up-to-date.)

If no attribute with this name is found, this method has no effect.
To remove an attribute by local name and namespace URI, use the removeAttributeNS method.

Parameters
name - The name of the attribute to remove.

Definition at line 1815 of xmlDOM.cls

xmlElement::method removeAttributeNS

Removes an attribute by local name and namespace URI.
NOT supported here:
(If a default value for the removed attribute is defined in the DTD, a new attribute immediately appears with the
default value as well as the corresponding namespace URI, local name, and prefix when applicable. The implementation
may handle default values from other schemas similarly but applications should use Document.normalizeDocument() to
guarantee this information is up-to-date.)

If no attribute with this local name and namespace URI is found, this method has no effect.

Per [XML Namespaces], applications must use the value .nil as the namespaceURI parameter for methods if they
wish to have no namespace.

Parameters
nameSpaceURI=.nil - The namespace URI of the attribute to remove.
localName - The local name of the attribute to remove.

Definition at line 1834 of xmlDOM.cls

xmlElement::method removeAttributeNode

Removes the specified attribute node.
NOT supported here:
(If a default value for the removed Attr node is defined in the DTD, a new node immediately appears with the default
value as well as the corresponding namespace URI, local name, and prefix when applicable. The implementation may
handle default values from other schemas similarly but applications should use Document.normalizeDocument() to
guarantee this information is up-to-date.)

Parameters
oldAttr - The reference to the xmlAttr to be removed.
Returns
attr - The removed attribute.
Raises
user domException - NOT_FOUND_ERR perhaps

Definition at line 1849 of xmlDOM.cls

xmlElement::method setAttribute

Adds a new attribute. If an attribute with that name is already present in the element, its value is changed to be
that of the value parameter. This value is a simple string; it is not parsed as it is being set. So any markup (such
as syntax to be recognized as an entity reference) is treated as literal text, and needs to be appropriately escaped
by the implementation when it is written out. In order to assign an attribute value that contains entity references,
the user must create an xmlAttr node plus any xmlText and xmlEntityReference nodes, build the appropriate subtree, and
use setAttributeNode to assign it as the value of an attribute.

To set an attribute with a qualified name and namespace URI, use the setAttributeNS method.

Parameters
name - The name of the attribute to create or alter.
value - Value to set in string form.
Raises
user domException - INVALID_CHARACTER_ERR

Definition at line 1866 of xmlDOM.cls

xmlElement::method setAttributeNS

Adds a new attribute. If an attribute with the same local name and namespace URI is already present on the element,
its prefix is changed to be the prefix part of the qualifiedName, and its value is changed to be the value parameter.
This value is a simple string; it is not parsed as it is being set. So any markup (such as syntax to be recognized as
an entity reference) is treated as literal text, and needs to be appropriately escaped by the implementation when it
is written out. In order to assign an attribute value that contains entity references, the user must create an Attr
node plus any Text and EntityReference nodes, build the appropriate subtree, and use setAttributeNodeNS or
setAttributeNode to assign it as the value of an attribute.

Per [XML Namespaces], applications must use the value .nil as the namespaceURI parameter for methods if they
wish to have no namespace.

Parameters
namespaceURI=.nil - The namespace URI of the attribute to create or alter.
qualifiedName - The qualified name of the attribute to create or alter.
value - The value to set in string form.
Raises
user domException - INVALID_CHARACTER_ERR
user domException - NAMESPACE_ERR

Definition at line 1899 of xmlDOM.cls

xmlElement::method setAttributeNode

Adds a new attribute node. If an attribute with that name (nodeName) is already present in the element, it is replaced
by the new one. Replacing an attribute node by itself has no effect.

To add a new attribute node with a qualified name and namespace URI, use the setAttributeNodeNS method.

Parameters
newAttr - The xmlAttr node to add to the attribute list.
Returns
attr - If the newAttr attribute replaces an existing attribute, the replaced Attr node is returned, otherwise .nil is returned.
Raises
user domExcep[tion - WRONG_DOCUMENT_ERR
user domException - INUSE_ATTRIBUTE_ERR

xmlElement::method setAttributeNodeNS

Adds a new attribute. If an attribute with that local name and that namespace URI is already present in the element,
it is replaced by the new one. Replacing an attribute node by itself has no effect.

Per [XML Namespaces], applications must use the value .nil as the namespaceURI parameter for methods if they
wish to have no namespace.

Parameters
newAttr - The xmlAttr node to add to the attribute list.
Returns
attr - If the newAttr attribute replaces an existing attribute, the replaced Attr node is returned, otherwise .nil is returned.
Raises

xmlElement::method setIdAttribute

If the parameter isId is true, this method declares the specified attribute to be a user-determined ID attribute. This
affects the value of the xmlAttr isId meyhod and the behavior of the xmlDocument getElementById method,
but does not change any schema that may be in use, in particular this does not affect the the xmlAttr
schemaTypeInfo property of the specified xmlAttr node.
Use the value .false for the parameter isId to undeclare an attribute for being a user-determined ID attribute.

To specify an attribute by local name and namespace URI, use the setIdAttributeNS method.

Parameters
name - The name of the attribute.
isId - Whether the attribute is a of type ID.
Raises
user domException - NOT_FOUND_ERR

xmlElement::method setIdAttributeNS

Use the value .false for the parameter isId to undeclare an attribute for being a user-determined ID attribute.

Parameters
namespaceURI - The namespace URI of the attribute.
