DESCRIPTION

       The QDomElement class represents one element in the DOM
       tree.

       Elements have a name() and zero or more attributes
       associated with them.

       Attributes of the element are represented by QDomAttr
       objects, that can be queried using the attribute() and
       attributeNode() functions. You can set attributes with the
       setAttribute() and setAttributeNode() functions.

       For further information about the Document Objct Model see
       http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-DOM-Level-1/. For a more general
       introduction of the DOM implementation see the
       QDomDocument documentation.


MEMBER FUNCTION DOCUMENTATION


       Constructs an empty element. Use the
       QDomDocument::createElement() function to construct
       elements with content.


QDomElement::QDomElement ( const QDomElement & x )

       Copy constructor.

       The data of the copy is shared: modifying one will also
       change the other. If you want to make a real copy, use
       cloneNode() instead.


QDomElement::~QDomElement ()

       Destructor.


QString QDomElement::attribute ( const QString & name, const

       QString & defValue = QString::null ) const
       Returns the attribute with the name name. If the attribute
       does not exist defValue is returned.

       See also setAttribute(), attributeNode() and
       setAttributeNode().


QDomAttr QDomElement::attributeNode ( const QString & name )

       Returns the QDomAttr object that corresponds to the
       attribute with the name name. If no such attribute exists
       a null object is returned.

       See also setAttributeNode(), attribute() and
       setAttribute().


QDomNamedNodeMap QDomElement::attributes () const [virtual]

       Returns a QDomNamedNodeMap containing all attributes for
       this element.

       See also attribute(), setAttribute(), attributeNode() and
       setAttributeNode().

       Reimplemented from QDomNode.


QDomNodeList QDomElement::elementsByTagName ( const QString &

       tagname ) const [virtual]
       Returns a QDomNodeList containing all descendant elements
       of this element with the name tagname. The order they are
       in the node list, is the order they are encountered in a
       preorder traversal of the element tree.


bool QDomElement::hasAttribute ( const QString & name ) const

       Returns TRUE is this element has an attribute with the
       name name, otherwise FALSE.


bool QDomElement::isElement () const [virtual]

       Returns TRUE.



QDomNode::NodeType QDomElement::nodeType() const [virtual]

       Returns ElementNode.

       Reimplemented from QDomNode.


void QDomElement::normalize ()

       Calling normalize() on an element brings all its children
       into a standard form. This means, that adjacent QDomText
       objects will be merged to one text object
       (QDomCDATASection nodes are not merged).


QDomElement& QDomElement::operator= ( const QDomElement & x )

       Assignment operator.

       The data of the copy is shared: modifying one will also
       change the other. If you want to make a real copy, use
       cloneNode() instead.


void QDomElement::removeAttribute ( const QString & name )

       Removes the attribute with the name name from this
       element.

       See also setAttribute() and attribute().


QDomAttr QDomElement::removeAttributeNode ( const QDomAttr &

       oldAttr )
       Removes the attribute oldAttr from the element and returns
       it.

       See also attributeNode() and setAttributeNode().


void QDomElement::setAttribute ( const QString & name, const

       QString & value )
       Sets the attribute with the name name to the string value.
       If the attribute does not exist, a new one is created.


void QDomElement::setAttribute ( const QString & name, double

       value )
       This is an overloaded member function, provided for
       convenience. It differs from the above function only in
       what argument(s) it accepts.


void QDomElement::setAttribute ( const QString & name, int value

       )
       This is an overloaded member function, provided for
       convenience. It differs from the above function only in
       what argument(s) it accepts.


void QDomElement::setAttribute ( const QString & name, uint value

       )
       This is an overloaded member function, provided for
       convenience. It differs from the above function only in



QDomAttr QDomElement::setAttributeNode ( const QDomAttr & newAttr

       )
       Adds the attribute newAttr to this element.

       If an attribute with the name newAttr exists in the
       element, the function returns this attribute; otherwise
       the function returns a null attribute.

       See also attributeNode().


void QDomElement::setTagName ( const QString & name )

       Sets the tag name of this element.

       See also tagName().


QString QDomElement::tagName () const

       Returns the tag name of this element. For an XML element
       like

         <img src="myimg.png">

       the tagname would return "img".

       See also setTagName().


QString QDomElement::text () const

       Returns the text contained inside this element.

       Example:

         <h1>Hello <b>Qt</b> <![CDATA[<xml is cool>]]></h1>

       The function text() of the QDomElement for the <h1> tag,
       will return "Hello Qt <xml is cool>".

       Comments are ignored by this function. It evaluates only
       QDomText and QDomCDATASection objects.
