The Document interface represents the entire
HTML or XML document. Conceptually, it is the root of the
document tree, and provides the primary access to the
document's data.
Since elements, text nodes, comments, processing instructions,
etc. cannot exist outside the context of a
Document, the Document interface also
contains the factory methods needed to create these objects.
The Node objects created have a ownerDocument
attribute which associates them with the Document within whose
context they were created.

public DocumentType getDoctype()
doctype property.public DOMImplementation getImplementation()
implementation property.public Element getDocumentElement()
documentElement property.
public Element createElement(java.lang.String tagName)
throws DOMException
Creates an element of the type specified. Note that the
instance returned implements the
tagName - The name of the element type to
instantiate. For XML, this is case-sensitive. For HTML, the
tagName parameter may be provided in any case,
but it must be mapped to the canonical uppercase form by
the DOM implementation.Element object.public DocumentFragment createDocumentFragment()
Creates an empty DocumentFragment object.
DocumentFragment.public Text createTextNode(java.lang.String data)
Creates a Text node given the specified
string.
data - The data for the node.Text object.public Comment createComment(java.lang.String data)
Creates a Comment node given the specified
string.
data - The data for the node.Comment object.
public CDATASection createCDATASection(java.lang.String data)
throws DOMException
Creates a CDATASection node whose value is
the specified string.
data - The data for the CDATASection contents.CDATASection object.
public ProcessingInstruction createProcessingInstruction(java.lang.String target,
java.lang.String data)
throws DOMException
Creates a ProcessingInstruction node given
the specified name and data strings.
target - The target part of the processing instruction.data - The data for the node.ProcessingInstruction object.NOT_SUPPORTED_ERR: Raised if this document is an HTML document.
public Attr createAttribute(java.lang.String name)
throws DOMException
Creates an Attr of the given name.
Note that the Attr instance
can then be set on an Element using the
setAttribute method.
name - The name of the attribute.Attr object.
public EntityReference createEntityReference(java.lang.String name)
throws DOMException
Creates an EntityReference object.
name - The name of the entity to reference.EntityReference object.NOT_SUPPORTED_ERR: Raised if this document is an HTML document.
public NodeList getElementsByTagName(java.lang.String tagname)
Returns a NodeList of all the Elements
with a given tag name in the order in which they would be encountered
in a preorder traversal of the Document tree.
tagname - The name of the tag to match on. The special value "*"
matches all tags.NodeList object containing
all the matched Elements.
