Method Detail

blur

public void blur()

Removes keyboard focus from this element.

focus

public void focus()

Gives keyboard focus to this element.

getAccessKey

public String getAccessKey()

A single character access key to give access to the form control. See the accesskey attribute definition in HTML 4.0.

getCols

public int getCols()

Width of control (in characters). See the cols attribute definition in HTML 4.0.

Represents the contents of the element. The value of this attribute does not change if the contents of the corresponding form control, in an interactive user agent, changes. Changing this attribute, however, resets the contents of the form control.

getDisabled

public boolean getDisabled()

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

getForm

public HTMLFormElement getForm()

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

getName

public String getName()

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

getReadOnly

public boolean getReadOnly()

This control is read-only. See the readonly attribute definition in HTML 4.0.

getRows

public int getRows()

Number of text rows. See the rows attribute definition in HTML 4.0.

getTabIndex

public int getTabIndex()

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

getType

public String getType()

The type of this form control. This the string "textarea".

getValue

public String getValue()

Represents the current contents of the corresponding form control, in an interactive user agent. Changing this attribute changes the contents of the form control, but does not change the contents of the element. If the entirety of the data can not fit into a single DOMString, the implementation may truncate the data.
