class HTMLDocument |
|
An HTMLDocument is the root of the HTML hierarchy
and holds the entire content. Beside providing access to the
hierarchy, it also provides some convenience methods for accessing
certain sets of information from the document.
The following properties have been deprecated in favor of the corresponding ones for the BODY element:

Note. This method and the ones following allow a user to add to
or replace the structure model of a document using strings of
unparsed HTML. At the time of writing alternate methods for
providing similar functionality for both HTML and XML documents
were being considered. The following methods may be deprecated
at some point in the future in favor of a more general-purpose
mechanism.
