public class HTMLElementImpl
extends org.apache.xerces.dom.ElementImpl
implements org.w3c.dom.html.HTMLElement

Implements an HTML-specific element, an `Element` that will only appear inside HTML documents. This element extends `ElementImpl` by adding methods for directly manipulating HTML-specific attributes. All HTML elements gain access to the `id`, `title`, `lang`, `dir` and `class` attributes. Other elements add their own specific attributes.

### getAttributeNode

    public org.w3c.dom.Attr getAttributeNode(java.lang.String attrName)

  Description copied from class: `org.apache.xerces.dom.ElementImpl`
  Look up a single Attribute by name. Returns the Attribute Node, so its complete child tree is available. This could be important in XML, where the string rendering may not be sufficient information.

  If no matching attribute is available, returns null.

  Specified by:
    `getAttributeNode` in interface `org.w3c.dom.Element`
  Overrides:
    `getAttributeNode` in class `org.apache.xerces.dom.ElementImpl`

### getAttributeNodeNS

    public org.w3c.dom.Attr getAttributeNodeNS(java.lang.String namespaceURI,
                                               java.lang.String localName)

  Description copied from class: `org.apache.xerces.dom.ElementImpl`
  Retrieves an Attr node by local name and namespace URI.
  Specified by:
    `getAttributeNodeNS` in interface `org.w3c.dom.Element`
  Overrides:
    `getAttributeNodeNS` in class `org.apache.xerces.dom.ElementImpl`
  Following copied from class: `org.apache.xerces.dom.ElementImpl`
  Parameters:
    `namespaceURI` - The namespace URI of the attribute to retrieve.
    `localName` - The local name of the attribute to retrieve.
  Returns:
    Attr The Attr node with the specified attribute local name and namespace URI or null if there is no such attribute.

### getAttribute

    public java.lang.String getAttribute(java.lang.String attrName)

  Description copied from class: `org.apache.xerces.dom.ElementImpl`
  Look up a single Attribute by name. Returns the Attribute's string value, or an empty string (NOT null!) to indicate that the name did not map to a currently defined attribute.

  Note: Attributes may contain complex node trees. This method returns the "flattened" string obtained from Attribute.getValue(). If you need the structure information, see getAttributeNode().

  Specified by:
    `getAttribute` in interface `org.w3c.dom.Element`
  Overrides:
    `getAttribute` in class `org.apache.xerces.dom.ElementImpl`

### getAttributeNS

    public java.lang.String getAttributeNS(java.lang.String namespaceURI,
                                           java.lang.String localName)

  Description copied from class: `org.apache.xerces.dom.ElementImpl`
  Introduced in DOM Level 2.

  Retrieves an attribute value by local name and namespace URI.

  Specified by:
    `getAttributeNS` in interface `org.w3c.dom.Element`
  Overrides:
    `getAttributeNS` in class `org.apache.xerces.dom.ElementImpl`
  Following copied from class: `org.apache.xerces.dom.ElementImpl`
  Parameters:
    `namespaceURI` - The namespace URI of the attribute to retrieve.
    `localName` - The local name of the attribute to retrieve.
  Returns:
    String The Attr value as a string, or empty string if that attribute does not have a specified or default value.

### getElementsByTagName

    public final org.w3c.dom.NodeList getElementsByTagName(java.lang.String tagName)

  Description copied from class: `org.apache.xerces.dom.ElementImpl`
  Returns a NodeList of all descendent nodes (children, grandchildren, and so on) which are Elements and which have the specified tag name.

  Note: NodeList is a "live" view of the DOM. Its contents will change as the DOM changes, and alterations made to the NodeList will be reflected in the DOM.

  Specified by:
    `getElementsByTagName` in interface `org.w3c.dom.Element`
  Overrides:
    `getElementsByTagName` in class `org.apache.xerces.dom.ElementImpl`
  Following copied from class: `org.apache.xerces.dom.ElementImpl`
  Parameters:
    `tagname` - The type of element to gather. To obtain a list of all elements no matter what their names, use the wild-card tag name "*".
  See Also:
    `DeepNodeListImpl`

### getElementsByTagNameNS

    public final org.w3c.dom.NodeList getElementsByTagNameNS(java.lang.String namespaceURI,
                                                             java.lang.String localName)

  Description copied from class: `org.apache.xerces.dom.ElementImpl`
  Introduced in DOM Level 2.

  Returns a NodeList of all the Elements with a given local name and namespace URI in the order in which they would be encountered in a preorder traversal of the Document tree, starting from this node.

  Specified by:
    `getElementsByTagNameNS` in interface `org.w3c.dom.Element`
  Overrides:
    `getElementsByTagNameNS` in class `org.apache.xerces.dom.ElementImpl`
  Following copied from class: `org.apache.xerces.dom.ElementImpl`
  Parameters:
    `namespaceURI` - The namespace URI of the elements to match on. The special value "*" matches all namespaces. When it is null or an empty string, this method behaves like getElementsByTagName.
    `localName` - The local name of the elements to match on. The special value "*" matches all local names.
  Returns:
    NodeList A new NodeList object containing all the matched Elements.

### getForm

    public org.w3c.dom.html.HTMLFormElement getForm()

  Convenience method returns the form in which this form element is contained. This method is exposed for form elements through the DOM API, but other elements have no access to it through the API.
