| clone | | public Object clone()(Code) | | Create a deep clone of this Element. It will have the tagname
and attributes as this node. This method will be called
recursively to copy the while subtree of child Elements and
Text nodes.

| cloneElement | | public Element cloneElement(boolean deep)(Code) | | Create a clone of this node. It will
have the tagname and attributes as this node. If deep is
true, this method will be called recursively to copy the while
subtree of child Elements and text nodes.
|
| cloneShallow | | public Element cloneShallow()(Code) | | Create a shallow clone of this Element. It will have the
tagname and attributes as this Element but will not have child
Elements or Nodes.
|
| equals | | public boolean equals(Object thatO)(Code) | | To be equal elements must have the same tagname, they must
have the same children (applying equals recursivly) in the
same order and they must have the same attributes in any
order. Elements can be equal even if they are in different
documents, have different parents, have different siblings, or
have different annotations.
|
| getAttribute | | public String getAttribute(String name)(Code) | | value of attribute that has this name or null if no such attribute. |
| getAttributeNames | | public Enumeration getAttributeNames()(Code) | | Return enumeration of Strings
|
| getFirstChild | | public Node getFirstChild()(Code) | | either an Element or a Text node |
| getLastChild | | public Node getLastChild()(Code) | | either an Element or a Text node |
| removeAttribute | | public void removeAttribute(String name)(Code) | | |
| setAttribute | | public void setAttribute(String name, String value)(Code) | |
Parameters:
name - attribute name which must be non-null, non empty
Parameters:
value - attribue value. |
| xpathEnsure | | public boolean xpathEnsure(String xpath) throws ParseException(Code) | | Make sure this XPath exists, creating nodes if necessary,
returning true if any nodes created. Xpath must of the type that
returns an element (not a string).
|
| xpathSelectElement | | public Element xpathSelectElement(String xpath) throws ParseException(Code) | | Select the first element that matches the relative XPath
expression with respect to this element, or null if
there is no match.
|
| xpathSelectElements | | public Enumeration xpathSelectElements(String xpath) throws ParseException(Code) | | Select all the elements that match the relative XPath
expression with respect to this element.
|
| xpathSelectString | | public String xpathSelectString(String xpath) throws ParseException(Code) | | Select the first element that matches the relative XPath
expression with respect to this element, or null if
there is no match.
|
| xpathSelectStrings | | public Enumeration xpathSelectStrings(String xpath) throws ParseException(Code) | | Select all the strings that match the relative XPath
expression with respect to this element.
