enableScrolling

public final void enableScrolling(boolean enable)
Enables or disables scrolling of the document.

Parameters:
enable - whether scrolling should be enabled or disabled

getBody

public final BodyElement getBody()
The element that contains the content for the document. In documents with BODY contents, returns the BODY element.

Returns:
the document's body

getBodyOffsetLeft

public final int getBodyOffsetLeft()
Returns the left offset between the absolute coordinate system and the body's positioning context. This method is useful for positioning children of the body element in absolute coordinates.

For example, to position an element directly under the mouse cursor (assuming you are handling a mouse event), do the following:

 Event event;
 Document doc;
 DivElement child;  // assume absolutely-positioned child of the body
 
 // Get the event location in absolute coordinates.
 int absX = event.getClientX() + Window.getScrollLeft();
 int absY = event.getClientY() + Window.getScrollTop();
 
 // Position the child element, adjusting for the difference between the
 // absolute coordinate system and the body's positioning coordinates.
 child.getStyle().setPropertyPx("left", absX - doc.getBodyOffsetLeft());
 child.getStyle().setPropertyPx("top", absY - doc.getBodyOffsetTop());
 

Returns:
the left offset of the body's positioning coordinate system

getBodyOffsetTop

public final int getBodyOffsetTop()
Returns the top offset between the absolute coordinate system and the body's positioning context. This method is useful for positioning children of the body element in absolute coordinates.

Returns:
the top offset of the body's positioning coordinate system

getBodyOffsetLeft()

getClientHeight

public final int getClientHeight()

The height of the scrollable area of the document.

Returns:
the height of the document's scrollable area

getScrollLeft

importNode

public final void importNode(Node node,
                             boolean deep)
Imports a node from another document to this document. The returned node has no parent; (Node.getParentNode() is null). The source node is not altered or removed from the original document; this method creates a new copy of the source node. For all nodes, importing a node creates a node object owned by the importing document, with attribute values identical to the source node's nodeName and nodeType, plus the attributes related to namespaces (prefix, localName, and namespaceURI). As in the cloneNode operation on a Node, the source node is not altered. Additional information is copied as appropriate to the nodeType, attempting to mirror the behavior expected if a fragment of XML or HTML source was copied from one document to another, recognizing that the two documents may have different DTDs in the XML case.

Parameters:
node - the node to import
deep - If true, recursively import the subtree under the specified node; if false, import only the node itself, as explained above

isCSS1Compat

public final boolean isCSS1Compat()
Determines whether the document's "compatMode" is "CSS1Compat". This is normally described as "strict" mode.

Returns:
true if the document is in CSS1Compat mode

setScrollLeft

public final void setScrollLeft(int left)
Sets the number of pixels that the document's content is scrolled from the left.

Parameters:
left - the document's left scroll position

setScrollTop

public final void setScrollTop(int top)
Sets the number of pixels that the document's content is scrolled from the top.

Parameters:
top - the document's top scroll position

setTitle

public final void setTitle(java.lang.String title)
Sets the title of a document as specified by the TITLE element in the head of the document.

Parameters:
title - the document's new title

getViewportElement

final Element getViewportElement()
Gets the document's viewport element. This is the element that should be used to for scrolling and client-area measurement. In quirks-mode it is the <body> element, while in standards-mode it is the <html> element. This is package-protected because the viewport is
