From interface org.w3c.dom.html.HTMLElement

Public Methods

public abstract void add (HTMLElement element, HTMLElement before)

Add a new element to the collection of OPTION elements for this SELECT . This method is the equivalent of the appendChild method of the Node interface if the before parameter is null . It is equivalent to the insertBefore method on the parent of before in all other cases.

Parameters

element	The element to add.
before	The element to insert before, or `null` for the tail of the list.

Throws

DOMException	NOT_FOUND_ERR: Raised if `before` is not a descendant of the `SELECT` element.

public abstract void blur ()

Removes keyboard focus from this element.

public abstract void focus ()

Gives keyboard focus to this element.

public abstract boolean getDisabled ()

The control is unavailable in this context. See the disabled attribute definition in HTML 4.0.

public abstract HTMLFormElement getForm ()

Returns the FORM element containing this control. Returns null if this control is not within the context of a form.

public abstract int getLength ()

The number of options in this SELECT .

public abstract boolean getMultiple ()

If true, multiple OPTION elements may be selected in this SELECT . See the multiple attribute definition in HTML 4.0.

public abstract String getName ()

Form control or object name when submitted with a form. See the name attribute definition in HTML 4.0.

public abstract HTMLCollection getOptions ()

The collection of OPTION elements contained by this element.

public abstract int getSelectedIndex ()

The ordinal index of the selected option, starting from 0. The value -1 is returned if no element is selected. If multiple options are selected, the index of the first selected option is returned.

public abstract int getSize ()

Number of visible rows. See the size attribute definition in HTML 4.0.

public abstract int getTabIndex ()

Index that represents the element's position in the tabbing order. See the tabindex attribute definition in HTML 4.0.

public abstract String getType ()

The type of this form control. This is the string "select-multiple" when the multiple attribute is true and the string "select-one" when false .

public abstract String getValue ()

The current form control value.

public abstract void remove (int index)

Remove an element from the collection of OPTION elements for this SELECT . Does nothing if no element has the given index.

Parameters

index	The index of the item to remove, starting from 0.
