All Superinterfaces:
  Document, Node

    public interface HTMLDocument

extends Document

An `HTMLDocument` is the root of the HTML hierarchy andholds the entire content. Beside providing access to the hierarchy, italso provides some convenience methods for accessing certain sets ofinformation from the document.

The following properties have been deprecated in favor of the corresponding ones for the BODY element:alinkColorbackgroundbgColorfgColor linkColorvlinkColor

Method Detail

### getTitle

    java.lang.String getTitle()

  The title of a document as specified by the `TITLE`element in the head of the document.

### setTitle

    void setTitle(java.lang.String title)

  The complete URI of the document.

### getBody

    HTMLElement getBody()

### setBody

    void setBody(HTMLElement body)

### getImages

    HTMLCollection getImages()

  A collection of all the `IMG` elements in a document.The behavior is limited to `IMG` elements forbackwards compatibility.

### getApplets

### getLinks

    HTMLCollection getLinks()

### setCookie

    void setCookie(java.lang.String cookie)

### open

    void open()

  Note.This method and the ones following allow a user to add to or replace the structuremodel of a document using strings of unparsed HTML. At the time of writing alternate methods for providing similar functionality for both HTML and XML documents were being considered. The following methodsmay be deprecated at some point in the future in favor of a more general-purpose mechanism.
  Open a document stream for writing. If a document exists in the target, this method clears it.

### close

    void close()

  Closes a document stream opened by `open()`and forces rendering.

### write

    void write(java.lang.String text)

  Write a string of text to a document stream opened by`open()`. The text is parsed into the document's structuremodel.

  Parameters:
    `text` - The string to be parsed into some structure in the document structuremodel.

### writeln

    void writeln(java.lang.String text)

  Write a string of text followed by a newline character to a document stream opened by `open()`. The text is parsed into the document's structure model.

  Parameters:
    `text` - The string to be parsed into some structure in the document structuremodel.

### getElementById

  Returns the Element whose `id` is given by elementId. If no such element exists, returns `null`. Behavior is not defined if more than one element has this `id`.

  Specified by:
    `getElementById` in interface `Document`
  Parameters:
    `elementId` - The unique `id` value for an element.
  Returns:
    The matching element.

### getElementsByName

    NodeList getElementsByName(java.lang.String elementName)
