VERSION

Version 0.054

SYNOPSIS

  use HTML::DOM;
  $doc = HTML::DOM->new;
  $elem = $doc->createElement('textarea');

  $elem->focus();
  $elem->blur();
  # etc.

  $elem->value('some text') # set attribute
  $elem->rows;              # get attribute
  $elem->tagName;
  # etc.

DESCRIPTION

This class implements 'textarea' elements in an HTML::DOM tree. It implements the HTMLTextAreaElement 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
cols
disabled
name
readOnly
rows
tabIndex: 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.
defaultValue: Returns the text content of the element. This currently does not work if the 'textarea' element has more than one child.
form: Returns the form containing this input element.
type: Returns the string 'textarea'.
value: This method allows one to change the current value of the input field. The change is not reflected in the HTML tree. This will be called with the value of "defaultValue" when the form's "reset" method is invoked.
blur
focus
select: Each of these triggers the corresponding event.

In addition, the following methods are provided for compatibility with WWW::Mechanize:

possible_values: This returns an empty list.
form_name_value: Returns a list of two items: (0) the name of the field and (1) the value.
