normalize

public void normalize()

Deprecated. As of DOM 2

Puts all Text nodes in the full depth of the sub-tree underneath this Element into a "normal" form where only markup (e.g., tags, comments, processing instructions, CDATA sections, and entity references) separates Text nodes, i.e., there are no adjacent Text nodes. This can be used to ensure that the DOM view of a document is the same as if it were saved and re-loaded, and is useful when operations (such as XPointer lookups) that depend on a particular doc1ument tree structure are to be used.

Specified by:

normalize in interface Node

Overrides:

normalize in class XMLNSNode

See Also:

XMLNode.normalize()

hasAttribute

public boolean hasAttribute(java.lang.String name)

Returns true when an attribute with a given name is specified on this element or has a default value, false otherwise.

Specified by:

hasAttribute in interface Element

Returns:

true if the attribute whith the specified name is present, else null

Since:

DOM 2

hasAttributeNS

public boolean hasAttributeNS(java.lang.String namespaceURI,
                              java.lang.String localName)

Returns true when an attribute with a given local name and namespace URI is specified on this element or has a default value,false otherwise

Specified by:

hasAttributeNS in interface Element

Returns:

true when an attribute with a given local name and namespace URI is specified on this element or has a default value,false otherwise

Since:

DOM 2

hasAttributes

public boolean hasAttributes()

Returns whether this node (if it is an element) has any attributes.

Specified by:

hasAttributes in interface Node

Overrides:

hasAttributes in class XMLNode

Returns:

true if this node has any attributes, false otherwise.

Since:

DOM Level 2

getAttribute

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

Retrieves an attribute value by name.

Specified by:

getAttribute in interface Element

Parameters:

name - The name of the attribute to retrieve.

Returns:

The Attr value as a string, or the empty string if that attribute does not have a specified or default value.

setAttribute

public void setAttribute(java.lang.String name,
                         java.lang.String value)
                  throws DOMException

Adds a new attribute. If an attribute with that name is already present in the element, its value is changed to be that of the value parameter. This value is a simple string, it is not parsed as it is being set. So any markup (such as syntax to be recognized as an entity reference) is treated as literal text, and needs to be appropriately escaped by the implementation when it is written out. In order to assign an attribute value that contains entity references, the user must create an Attr node plus any Text and EntityReference nodes, build the appropriate subtree, and use setAttributeNode to assign it as the value of an attribute. This method is namespace unaware and hence wont result in update of namespace table if a new attr is added thru this method

Specified by:

setAttribute in interface Element

Parameters:

name - The name of the attribute to create or alter.

value - Value to set in string form.

Throws:

DOMException - INVALID_CHARACTER_ERR: Raised if the specified name contains an invalid character.
NO_MODIFICATION_ALLOWED_ERR: Raised if this node is readonly.

removeAttribute

public void removeAttribute(java.lang.String name)
                     throws DOMException

Removes an attribute by name. If the removed attribute has a default value it is immediately replaced.

Specified by:

removeAttribute in interface Element

Parameters:

name - The name of the attribute to remove.

Throws:

DOMException - NO_MODIFICATION_ALLOWED_ERR: Raised if this node is readonly.

getAttributeNS

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

Retrieves an attribute value by local name and namespace URI.

Specified by:

getAttributeNS in interface Element

Parameters:

namespaceURI - namespace of the attribute requested

localName - local name of the attribute requested

Returns:

the value of the attribute with the above mentioned namespace URI and localName if it exists ,else null.

Since:

DOM 2

                    throws DOMException

Adds a new attribute. If an attribute with the same local name and namespace URI is already present on the element, its prefix is changed to be the prefix part of the qualifiedName, and its value is changed to be the value parameter. This value is a simple string; it is not parsed as it is being set. So any markup (such as syntax to be recognized as an entity reference) is treated as literal text, and needs to be appropriately escaped by the implementation when it is written out.

Specified by:

setAttributeNS in interface Element

Parameters:

namespaceURI - namespace of the attribute to be added

qualifiedName - qualified name of the attribute to be added

value - value of the attribute to be added

Since:

DOM 2

removeAttributeNS

public void removeAttributeNS(java.lang.String namespaceURI,
                              java.lang.String localName)
