Class Overview

All HTML element interfaces derive from this class. Elements that only expose the HTML core attributes are represented by the base HTMLElement interface. These elements are as follows: HEAD special: SUB, SUP, SPAN, BDO font: TT, I, B, U, S, STRIKE, BIG, SMALL phrase: EM, STRONG, DFN, CODE, SAMP, KBD, VAR, CITE, ACRONYM, ABBR list: DD, DT NOFRAMES, NOSCRIPT ADDRESS, CENTER The style attribute of an HTML element is accessible through the ElementCSSInlineStyle interface which is defined in the .

abstract Node	appendChild(Node newChild) Adds the node `newChild` to the end of the list of children of this node.
abstract Node	cloneNode(boolean deep) Returns a duplicate of this node, i.e., serves as a generic copy constructor for nodes.
abstract short	compareDocumentPosition(Node other) Compares the reference node, i.e.
abstract NamedNodeMap	getAttributes() A `NamedNodeMap` containing the attributes of this node (if it is an `Element`) or `null` otherwise.

Public Methods

public abstract String getClassName ()

The class attribute of the element. This attribute has been renamed due to conflicts with the "class" keyword exposed by many languages. See the class attribute definition in HTML 4.0.

public abstract String getDir ()

Specifies the base direction of directionally neutral text and the directionality of tables. See the dir attribute definition in HTML 4.0.

public abstract String getId ()

The element's identifier. See the id attribute definition in HTML 4.0.

public abstract String getLang ()

Language code defined in RFC 1766. See the lang attribute definition in HTML 4.0.
