- \brief The QWebElement class provides convenience access to DOM elements in a QWebFrame.

+ \brief The QWebElement class provides convenient access to DOM elements in a QWebFrame.
- QWebElement is the main class to provide easy access to the document model.
+ QWebElement is the main class to easily access to the document model.
The document model is represented by a tree-like structure of DOM elements.
The root of the tree is called the document element and can be accessed using QWebFrame::documentElement().
- You can reach specific elements by using the findAll() and findFirst() functions, which
- allow the use of CSS selectors to identify elements.
+ You can reach specific elements using findAll() and findFirst(); the elements
+ are identified through CSS selectors.
\snippet webkitsnippets/webelement/main.cpp FindAll
- The first list contains all span elements in the document. The second list contains
- only the span elements that are children of the paragraph that is classified
- as "intro" paragraph.
+ The first list contains all \c span elements in the document. The second list contains
+ \c span elements that are children of \c p, classified with \c intro.
+
+ Using findFirst() is more efficient than calling findAll() and extracting the first element
+ only in the returned list.
Alternatively you can manually traverse the document using firstChild() and nextSibling():

The underlying content of QWebElement is explicitly shared. Creating a copy of a QWebElement
- does not create a copy of the content, both instances point to the same underlying element.
+ does not create a copy of the content. Instead, both instances point to the same element.
+
+ The element's attributes can be read using attribute() and modified with setAttribute().
- The element's attributes can be read using attribute() and changed using setAttribute().
+ The contents of child elements can be converted to plain text with toPlainText() and to
+ XHTML using toInnerXml(). To also include the element's tag in the output, use toOuterXml().
- The content of the child elements can be converted to plain text using toPlainText() and to
- x(html) using toXml(), and it is possible to replace the content using setPlainText() and setXml().
+ It is possible to replace the contents using setPlainText() and setInnerXml(). To replace
+ the element itself and its contents, use setOuterXml().
- Depending on the type of the underlying element there may be extra functionality available, not
- covered through QWebElement's API. For example a HTML form element can be triggered to submit the
- entire form. These list of these functions is available through functions() and they can be called
- directly using callFunction().
+ In the JavaScript DOM interfaces, elements can have additional functions depending on their
+ type. For example an HTML form element can be triggered to submit the entire form to the
+ web server using the submit() function. A list of these special functions can be obtained
+ in QWebElement using functions(); they can be invoked using callFunction().
+
+ Similarly element specific properties can be obtained using scriptableProperties() and
+ read/written using scriptableProperty()/setScriptableProperty().
