The tag name can be changed with setTagName(). .PP Element attributes 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. Attributes can be removed with removeAttribute(). There are namespace-aware equivalents to these functions, i.e. setAttributeNS(), setAttributeNodeNS() and removeAttributeNS(). .PP If you want to access the text of a node use text(), e.g. .PP .nf .br QDomElement e = //... .br //... .br TQString s = e.text() .br .fi The text() function operates recursively to find the text (since not all elements contain text). If you want to find all the text in all of a node's children, iterate over the children looking for QDomText nodes, e.g. .PP .nf .br TQString text; .br QDomElement element = doc.documentElement(); .br for( QDomNode n = element.firstChild(); !n.isNull(); n = n.nextSibling() ) .br { .br QDomText t = n.toText(); .br if ( !t.isNull() ) .br text += t.data(); .br } .br .fi Note that we attempt to convert each node to a text node and use text() rather than using firstChild().toText().data() or n.toText().data() directly on the node, because the node may not be a text element. .PP You can get a list of all the decendents of an element which have a specified tag name with elementsByTagName() or elementsByTagNameNS(). .PP For further information about the Document Object Model see http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-DOM-Level-1/ and http://www.w3.org/TR/DOM-Level-2-Core/. For a more general introduction of the DOM implementation see the QDomDocument documentation. .PP See also XML. .SH MEMBER FUNCTION DOCUMENTATION .SH "QDomElement::QDomElement ()" Constructs an empty element. Use the QDomDocument::createElement() function to construct elements with content. .SH "QDomElement::QDomElement ( const QDomElement & x )" Constructs a copy of \fIx\fR. .PP The data of the copy is shared (shallow copy): modifying one node will also change the other. If you want to make a deep copy, use cloneNode(). .SH "QDomElement::~QDomElement ()" Destroys the object and frees its resources. .SH "TQString QDomElement::attribute ( const TQString & name, const TQString & defValue = TQString::null ) const" Returns the attribute called \fIname\fR. If the attribute does not exist \fIdefValue\fR is returned. .PP See also setAttribute(), attributeNode(), setAttributeNode(), and attributeNS(). .SH "TQString QDomElement::attributeNS ( const TQString nsURI, const TQString & localName, const TQString & defValue ) const" Returns the attribute with the local name \fIlocalName\fR and the namespace URI \fInsURI\fR. If the attribute does not exist \fIdefValue\fR is returned. .PP See also setAttributeNS(), attributeNodeNS(), setAttributeNodeNS(), and attribute(). .SH "QDomAttr QDomElement::attributeNode ( const TQString & name )" Returns the QDomAttr object that corresponds to the attribute called \fIname\fR. If no such attribute exists a null attribute is returned. .PP See also setAttributeNode(), attribute(), setAttribute(), and attributeNodeNS(). .SH "QDomAttr QDomElement::attributeNodeNS ( const TQString & nsURI, const TQString & localName )" Returns the QDomAttr object that corresponds to the attribute with the local name \fIlocalName\fR and the namespace URI \fInsURI\fR. If no such attribute exists a null attribute is returned. .PP See also setAttributeNode(), attribute(), and setAttribute(). .SH "QDomNamedNodeMap QDomElement::attributes () const\fC [virtual]\fR" Returns a QDomNamedNodeMap containing all this element's attributes. .PP See also attribute(), setAttribute(), attributeNode(), and setAttributeNode(). .PP Reimplemented from QDomNode. .SH "QDomNodeList QDomElement::elementsByTagName ( const TQString & tagname ) const\fC [virtual]\fR" Returns a QDomNodeList containing all descendent elements of this element that are called \fItagname\fR. The order they are in the node list is the order they are encountered in a preorder traversal of the element tree. .PP See also elementsByTagNameNS() and QDomDocument::elementsByTagName(). .SH "QDomNodeList QDomElement::elementsByTagNameNS ( const TQString & nsURI, const TQString & localName ) const\fC [virtual]\fR" Returns a QDomNodeList containing all the descendent elements of this element with the local name \fIlocalName\fR and the namespace URI \fInsURI\fR. The order they are in the node list is the order they are encountered in a preorder traversal of the element tree. .PP See also elementsByTagName() and QDomDocument::elementsByTagNameNS(). .SH "bool QDomElement::hasAttribute ( const TQString & name ) const" Returns TRUE if this element has an attribute called \fIname\fR; otherwise returns FALSE. .SH "bool QDomElement::hasAttributeNS ( const TQString & nsURI, const TQString & localName ) const" Returns TRUE if this element has an attribute with the local name \fIlocalName\fR and the namespace URI \fInsURI\fR; otherwise returns FALSE. .SH "bool QDomElement::isElement () const\fC [virtual]\fR" Returns TRUE. .PP Reimplemented from QDomNode. .SH "QDomNode::NodeType QDomElement::nodeType () const\fC [virtual]\fR" Returns ElementNode. .PP Reimplemented from QDomNode. .SH "QDomElement & QDomElement::operator= ( const QDomElement & x )" Assigns \fIx\fR to this DOM element. .PP The data of the copy is shared (shallow copy): modifying one node will also change the other. If you want to make a deep copy, use cloneNode(). .SH "void QDomElement::removeAttribute ( const TQString & name )" Removes the attribute called name \fIname\fR from this element. .PP See also setAttribute(), attribute(), and removeAttributeNS(). .SH "void QDomElement::removeAttributeNS ( const TQString & nsURI, const TQString & localName )" Removes the attribute with the local name \fIlocalName\fR and the namespace URI \fInsURI\fR from this element. .PP See also setAttributeNS(), attributeNS(), and removeAttribute(). .SH "QDomAttr QDomElement::removeAttributeNode ( const QDomAttr & oldAttr )" Removes the attribute \fIoldAttr\fR from the element and returns it. .PP See also attributeNode() and setAttributeNode(). .SH "void QDomElement::setAttribute ( const TQString & name, const TQString & value )" Adds an attribute called \fIname\fR with value \fIvalue\fR. If an attribute with the same name exists, its value is replaced by \fIvalue\fR. .PP See also attribute(), setAttributeNode(), and setAttributeNS(). .SH "void QDomElement::setAttribute ( const TQString & name, int value )" This is an overloaded member function, provided for convenience. It behaves essentially like the above function. .SH "void QDomElement::setAttribute ( const TQString & name, uint value )" This is an overloaded member function, provided for convenience. It behaves essentially like the above function. .SH "void QDomElement::setAttribute ( const TQString & name, long value )" This is an overloaded member function, provided for convenience. It behaves essentially like the above function. .SH "void QDomElement::setAttribute ( const TQString & name, ulong value )" This is an overloaded member function, provided for convenience. It behaves essentially like the above function. .SH "void QDomElement::setAttribute ( const TQString & name, double value )" This is an overloaded member function, provided for convenience. It behaves essentially like the above function. .SH "void QDomElement::setAttributeNS ( const TQString nsURI, const TQString & qName, const TQString & value )" Adds an attribute with the qualified name \fIqName\fR and the namespace URI \fInsURI\fR with the value \fIvalue\fR. If an attribute with the same local name and namespace URI exists, its prefix is replaced by the prefix of \fIqName\fR and its value is repaced by \fIvalue\fR. .PP Although \fIqName\fR is the qualified name, the local name is used to decide if an existing attribute's value should be replaced. .PP See also attributeNS(), setAttributeNodeNS(), and setAttribute(). .SH "void QDomElement::setAttributeNS ( const TQString nsURI, const TQString & qName, int value )" This is an overloaded member function, provided for convenience. It behaves essentially like the above function. .SH "void QDomElement::setAttributeNS ( const TQString nsURI, const TQString & qName, uint value )" This is an overloaded member function, provided for convenience.

For an XML element like this: .PP .nf .br .br .fi the tagname would return "img". .PP See also setTagName(). .SH "TQString QDomElement::text () const" Returns the element's text or TQString::null. .PP Example: .PP .nf .br

Hello Qt ]]>

.br .fi .PP The function text() of the QDomElement for the
