NAME

HTML::DOM::Element::A - A Perl class for representing 'a' elements in an HTML DOM tree

VERSION

Version 0.054

SYNOPSIS

  use HTML::DOM;
  $doc = HTML::DOM->new;
  $elem = $doc->createElement('a');
  $elem->href('about:blank'); # set attribute
  $elem->target;              # get attribute
  $elem->tagName;
  # etc
  $elem->focus();
  $elem->blur();

DESCRIPTION

This class implements 'a' elements in HTML::DOM trees. It implements the HTMLAnchorElement DOM interface and inherits from HTML::DOM::Element (q.v.).

METHODS

In addition to those inherited from HTML::DOM::Element and its superclasses, this class implements the following DOM methods:

accessKey

charset

coords

href

hreflang

name

rel

rev

shape

tabIndex

target

type

Each of these returns the corresponding HTML attribute. If you pass an argument, it will become the new value of the attribute, and the old value will be returned.

blur

focus

Each of these triggers the corresponding event.

And HTML::DOM::Node's "trigger_event" method is overridden to call the default event handler for links when the DOMActivate event occurs.
