All Superinterfaces:: Document, Node

public interface HTMLDocument
extends Document

An HTMLDocument is the root of the HTML hierarchy and holds the entire content. Besides providing access to the hierarchy, it also provides some convenience methods for accessing certain sets of information from the document.

The following properties have been deprecated in favor of the corresponding ones for the BODY element: alinkColor background bgColor fgColor linkColor vlinkColor In DOM Level 2, the method getElementById is inherited from the Document interface where it was moved.

Since:: 1.4, DOM Level 2

Method Details
- getTitle
  
  String getTitle()
  
  The title of a document as specified by the TITLE element in the head of the document.
- setTitle
  
  void setTitle(String title)
- getReferrer
  
  String getReferrer()
  
  Returns the URI of the page that linked to this page. The value is an empty string if the user navigated to the page directly (not through a link, but, for example, via a bookmark).
- getDomain
  
  String getDomain()
  
  The domain name of the server that served the document, or null if the server cannot be identified by a domain name.
- getURL
  
  String getURL()
  
  The complete URI of the document.
- getBody
  
  HTMLElement getBody()
  
  The element that contains the content for the document. In documents with BODY contents, returns the BODY element. In frameset documents, this returns the outermost FRAMESET element.
- 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 for backwards compatibility.
- getApplets
  
  HTMLCollection getApplets()
  
  A collection of all the OBJECT elements that include applets and APPLET ( deprecated ) elements in a document.
- getLinks
  
  HTMLCollection getLinks()
  
  A collection of all AREA elements and anchor ( A ) elements in a document with a value for the href attribute.
- getForms
  
  HTMLCollection getForms()
  
  A collection of all the forms of a document.
- getAnchors
  
  HTMLCollection getAnchors()
  
  A collection of all the anchor (A ) elements in a document with a value for the name attribute. Note. For reasons of backwards compatibility, the returned set of anchors only contains those anchors created with the name attribute, not those created with the id attribute.
- getCookie
  
  String getCookie()
  
  The cookies associated with this document. If there are none, the value is an empty string. Otherwise, the value is a string: a semicolon-delimited list of "name, value" pairs for all the cookies associated with the page. For example, name=value;expires=date .
- setCookie
  
  void setCookie(String cookie)
- open
  
  void open()
  
  Note. This method and the ones following allow a user to add to or replace the structure model 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 methods may 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(String text)
  
  Write a string of text 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 structure model.
- writeln
  
  void writeln(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 structure model.
- getElementsByName
  
  NodeList getElementsByName(String elementName)
  
  Returns the (possibly empty) collection of elements whose name value is given by elementName .
  
  Parameters:
  
  elementName - The name attribute value for an element.
  
  Returns:
  
  The matching elements.
