HTMLFormElement

implements HTMLElement

org.w3c.dom.html.HTMLFormElement

Class Overview

The FORM element encompasses behavior similar to a collection and an element. It provides direct access to the contained input elements as well as the attributes of the form element. See the FORM element definition in HTML 4.0.

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.
