QWebElement <i>o</i>)</li></ul><a name="details" /><hr /><h2>Detailed Description</h2><p>The QWebElement class provides convenient access to DOM elements
in a <a href="qwebframe.html">QWebFrame</a>.</p>
<p>A QWebElement object allows easy access to the document model,
represented by a tree-like structure of DOM elements. The root of
the tree is called the document element and can be accessed using
<a href="qwebframe.html#documentElement">QWebFrame.documentElement</a>().</p>
<p>Specific elements can be accessed using <a href="qwebelement.html#findAll">findAll</a>() and <a href="qwebelement.html#findFirst">findFirst</a>(). These elements are
identified using CSS selectors. The code snippet below demonstrates
the use of <a href="qwebelement.html#findAll">findAll</a>().</p>
<pre class="cpp">
<span class="type">QWebElement</span> document <span class="operator">=</span> frame<span class="operator">-</span><span class="operator">></span>documentElement();
<span class="comment">/* Assume the document has the following structure:
<p class=intro>
<span>Intro</span>
<span>Snippets</span>
</p>
<p>
<span>Content</span>
<span>Here</span>
</p>
*/</span>
<span class="type"><a href="qwebelementcollection.html">QWebElementCollection</a></span> allSpans <span class="operator">=</span> document<span class="operator">.</span>findAll(<span class="string">"span"</span>);
<span class="type"><a href="qwebelementcollection.html">QWebElementCollection</a></span> introSpans <span class="operator">=</span> document<span class="operator">.</span>findAll(<span class="string">"p.intro span"</span>);
</pre>
<p>The first list contains all <tt>span</tt> elements in the
document. The second list contains <tt>span</tt> elements that are
children of <tt>p</tt>, classified with <tt>intro</tt>.</p>
<p>Using <a href="qwebelement.html#findFirst">findFirst</a>() is
more efficient than calling <a href="qwebelement.html#findAll">findAll</a>(), and extracting the first
element only in the list returned.</p>
<p>Alternatively you can traverse the document manually using
<a href="qwebelement.html#firstChild">firstChild</a>() and <a href="qwebelement.html#nextSibling">nextSibling</a>():</p>
<pre class="cpp">
frame<span class="operator">-</span><span class="operator">></span>setHtml(<span class="string">"<html><body><p>First Paragraph</p><p>Second Paragraph</p></body></html>"</span>);
<span class="type">QWebElement</span> doc <span class="operator">=</span> frame<span class="operator">-</span><span class="operator">></span>documentElement();
<span class="type">QWebElement</span> body <span class="operator">=</span> doc<span class="operator">.</span>firstChild();
<span class="type">QWebElement</span> firstParagraph <span class="operator">=</span> body<span class="operator">.</span>firstChild();
<span class="type">QWebElement</span> secondParagraph <span class="operator">=</span> firstParagraph<span class="operator">.</span>nextSibling();
</pre>
<p>Individual elements can be inspected or changed using methods
such as <a href="qwebelement.html#attributex">attribute</a>() or
<a href="qwebelement.html#setAttribute">setAttribute</a>(). For
examle, to capture the user's input in a text field for later use
(auto-completion), a browser could do something like this:</p>
<pre class="cpp">
<span class="type">QWebElement</span> firstTextInput <span class="operator">=</span> document<span class="operator">.</span>findFirst(<span class="string">"input[type=text]"</span>);
<span class="type"><a href="qstring.html">QString</a></span> storedText <span class="operator">=</span> firstTextInput<span class="operator">.</span>attribute(<span class="string">"value"</span>);
</pre>
<p>When the same page is later revisited, the browser can fill in
the text field automatically by modifying the value attribute of
the input element:</p>
<pre class="cpp">
<span class="type">QWebElement</span> firstTextInput <span class="operator">=</span> document<span class="operator">.</span>findFirst(<span class="string">"input[type=text]"</span>);
textInput<span class="operator">.</span>setAttribute(<span class="string">"value"</span><span class="operator">,</span> storedText);
</pre>
<p>Another use case is to emulate a click event on an element. The
following code snippet demonstrates how to call the JavaScript DOM
method click() of a submit button:</p>
<pre class="cpp">
<span class="type">QWebElement</span> document <span class="operator">=</span> frame<span class="operator">-</span><span class="operator">></span>documentElement();
<span class="comment">/* Assume that the document has the following structure:
<form name="myform" action="submit_form.asp" method="get">
<input type="text" name="myfield">
<input type="submit" value="Submit">
</form>
*/</span>
<span class="type">QWebElement</span> button <span class="operator">=</span> document<span class="operator">.</span>findFirst(<span class="string">"input[type=submit]"</span>);
button<span class="operator">.</span>evaluateJavaScript(<span class="string">"this.click()"</span>);
</pre>
<p>The underlying content of QWebElement is explicitly shared.
Creating a copy of a QWebElement does not create a copy of the
content. Instead, both instances point to the same element.</p>
<p>The contents of child elements can be converted to plain text
with <a href="qwebelement.html#toPlainText">toPlainText</a>(); to
XHTML using <a href="qwebelement.html#toInnerXml">toInnerXml</a>().
To include the element's tag in the output, use <a href="qwebelement.html#toOuterXml">toOuterXml</a>().</p>
<p>It is possible to replace the contents of child elements using
<a href="qwebelement.html#setPlainText">setPlainText</a>() and
<a href="qwebelement.html#setInnerXml">setInnerXml</a>(). To
replace the element itself and its contents, use <a href="qwebelement.html#setOuterXml">setOuterXml</a>().</p>

<i>value</i>.</p>
<p>Setting a value, does not necessarily mean that it will become
the applied value, due to the fact that the style property's value
might have been set earlier with a higher priority in external or
embedded style declarations.</p>
<p>In order to ensure that the value will be applied, you may have
to append "!important" to the value.</p>

<h3 class="fn"><a name="styleProperty" />QString QWebElement.styleProperty (<i>self</i>, QString <i>name</i>, <a href="qwebelement.html#StyleResolveStrategy-enum">StyleResolveStrategy</a> <i>strategy</i>)</h3><p>Returns the value of the style with the given <i>name</i> using
the specified <i>strategy</i>. If a style with <i>name</i> does not
exist, an empty string is returned.</p>
<p>In CSS, the cascading part depends on which CSS rule has
priority and is thus applied. Generally, the last defined rule has
priority. Thus, an inline style rule has priority over an embedded
block style rule, which in return has priority over an external
style rule.</p>
<p>If the "!important" declaration is set on one of those, the
declaration receives highest priority, unless other declarations
also use the "!important" declaration. Then, the last "!important"
declaration takes predecence.</p>
