Method Detail

### getDefinedElementTypes

    public org.w3c.dom.NodeList getDefinedElementTypes()

  Deprecated.
  The list of qualified element names defined in the abstract schema.

### contentType

    public short contentType()

  Deprecated.
  Determines element content type.
  Returns:
    Constant for one of EMPTY_CONTENTTYPE, ANY_CONTENTTYPE, MIXED_CONTENTTYPE, ELEMENTS_CONTENTTYPE.

### canSetAttribute

    public boolean canSetAttribute(java.lang.String attrname,
                                   java.lang.String attrval)

  Deprecated.
  Determines if the value for specified attribute can be set.
  Parameters:
    `attrname` - Name of attribute.
    `attrval` - Value to be assigned to the attribute.
  Returns:
    `true` if no reason it can't be done; `false` if it can't be done.

### canSetAttributeNode

    public boolean canSetAttributeNode(org.w3c.dom.Attr attrNode)

  Deprecated.
  Determines if an attribute node can be added with respect to the validity check level.This is an attribute node, there is no need for canSetAttributreNodeNS!
  Parameters:
    `attrNode` - `Node` in which the attribute can possibly be set.
  Returns:
    `true` if no reason it can't be done; `false` if it can't be done.

### canSetAttributeNS

    public boolean canSetAttributeNS(java.lang.String name,

  Deprecated.
  Determines if the attribute with given namespace and qualified name can be created if not already present in the attribute list of the element. If the attribute with same qualified name and namespaceURI is already present in the elements attribute list it tests for the value of the attribute and its prefix to the new value. See DOM core `setAttributeNS`.
  Parameters:
    `name` - Qualified name of attribute.
    `attrval` - Value to be assigned to the attribute.
