All Superinterfaces:

org.w3c.dom.Element, HTMLElement, org.w3c.dom.Node

All Known Implementing Classes:

HTMLFormElementImpl
```
public interface HTMLFormElement
extends HTMLElement
```
The FORM element encompasses behavior similar to a collection and an element. It provides direct access to the contained form controls as well as the attributes of the form element. See the FORM element definition in HTML 4.01.
See also the Document Object Model (DOM) Level 2 HTML Specification.

- Method Detail
  - getElements
```
HTMLCollection getElements()
```
    Returns a collection of all form control elements in the form.
  - getLength
```
int getLength()
```
    The number of form controls in the form.
  - getName
```
java.lang.String getName()
```
    Names the form.
  - setName
```
void setName(java.lang.String name)
```
    Names the form.
  - getAcceptCharset
```
java.lang.String getAcceptCharset()
```
    List of character sets supported by the server. See the accept-charset attribute definition in HTML 4.01.
  - setAcceptCharset
```
void setAcceptCharset(java.lang.String acceptCharset)
```
    List of character sets supported by the server. See the accept-charset attribute definition in HTML 4.01.
  - getAction
```
java.lang.String getAction()
```
    Server-side form handler. See the action attribute definition in HTML 4.01.
  - setAction
```
void setAction(java.lang.String action)
```
    Server-side form handler. See the action attribute definition in HTML 4.01.
  - getEnctype
```
java.lang.String getEnctype()
```
    The content type of the submitted form, generally "application/x-www-form-urlencoded". See the enctype attribute definition in HTML 4.01. The onsubmit even handler is not guaranteed to be triggered when invoking this method. The behavior is inconsistent for historical reasons and authors should not rely on a particular one.
  - setEnctype
```
void setEnctype(java.lang.String enctype)
```
    The content type of the submitted form, generally "application/x-www-form-urlencoded". See the enctype attribute definition in HTML 4.01.

  - getMethod
```
java.lang.String getMethod()
```
    HTTP method [IETF RFC 2616] used to submit form. See the method attribute definition in HTML 4.01.
  - setMethod
```
