tree.</p>
<p>Elements have a <a href="qdomelement.html#tagName">tagName</a>()
and zero or more attributes associated with them. The tag name can
be changed with <a href="qdomelement.html#setTagName">setTagName</a>().</p>
<p>Element attributes are represented by <a href="qdomattr.html">QDomAttr</a> objects that can be queried using the
<a href="qdomelement.html#attribute">attribute</a>() and <a href="qdomelement.html#attributeNode">attributeNode</a>() functions. You
can set attributes with the <a href="qdomelement.html#setAttribute">setAttribute</a>() and <a href="qdomelement.html#setAttributeNode">setAttributeNode</a>()
functions. Attributes can be removed with <a href="qdomelement.html#removeAttribute">removeAttribute</a>(). There are
namespace-aware equivalents to these functions, i.e. <a href="qdomelement.html#setAttributeNS">setAttributeNS</a>(), <a href="qdomelement.html#setAttributeNodeNS">setAttributeNodeNS</a>() and
<a href="qdomelement.html#removeAttributeNS">removeAttributeNS</a>().</p>
<p>If you want to access the text of a node use <a href="qdomelement.html#text">text</a>(), e.g.</p>
<pre class="cpp">
 <span class="type">QDomElement</span> e <span class="operator">=</span> <span class="comment">//...</span>
 <span class="comment">//...</span>
 <span class="type"><a href="qstring.html">QString</a></span> s <span class="operator">=</span> e<span class="operator">.</span><a href="qdomelement.html#text">text</a>()
</pre>
<p>The <a href="qdomelement.html#text">text</a>() function operates
recursively to find the text (since not all elements contain text).
If you want to find all the text in all of a node's children,
iterate over the children looking for <a href="qdomtext.html">QDomText</a> nodes, e.g.</p>
<pre class="cpp">
 <span class="type"><a href="qstring.html">QString</a></span> text;
 <span class="type">QDomElement</span> element <span class="operator">=</span> doc<span class="operator">.</span>documentElement();
 <span class="keyword">for</span>(<span class="type"><a href="qdomnode.html">QDomNode</a></span> n <span class="operator">=</span> element<span class="operator">.</span>firstChild(); <span class="operator">!</span>n<span class="operator">.</span>isNull(); n <span class="operator">=</span> n<span class="operator">.</span>nextSibling())
 {
     <span class="type"><a href="qdomtext.html">QDomText</a></span> t <span class="operator">=</span> n<span class="operator">.</span>toText();
     <span class="keyword">if</span> (<span class="operator">!</span>t<span class="operator">.</span>isNull())
         text <span class="operator">+</span><span class="operator">=</span> t<span class="operator">.</span>data();
 }
</pre>
<p>Note that we attempt to convert each node to a text node and use
<a href="qdomelement.html#text">text</a>() rather than using
<a href="qdomnode.html#firstChild">firstChild</a>().<a href="qdomnode.html#toText">toText</a>().data() or n.<a href="qdomnode.html#toText">toText</a>().data() directly on the node,
because the node may not be a text element.</p>
<p>You can get a list of all the decendents of an element which
have a specified tag name with <a href="qdomelement.html#elementsByTagName">elementsByTagName</a>() or
<a href="qdomelement.html#elementsByTagNameNS">elementsByTagNameNS</a>().</p>
<p>To browse the elements of a dom document use <a href="qdomnode.html#firstChildElement">firstChildElement</a>(), <a href="qdomnode.html#lastChildElement">lastChildElement</a>(), <a href="qdomnode.html#nextSiblingElement">nextSiblingElement</a>() and
<a href="qdomnode.html#previousSiblingElement">previousSiblingElement</a>().
For example, to iterate over all child elements called "entry" in a
root element called "database", you can use:</p>
<pre class="cpp">
 <span class="type"><a href="qdomdocument.html">QDomDocument</a></span> doc <span class="operator">=</span> <span class="comment">// ...</span>
 <span class="type">QDomElement</span> root <span class="operator">=</span> doc<span class="operator">.</span><a href="qdomnode.html#firstChildElement">firstChildElement</a>(<span class="string">"database"</span>);
 <span class="type">QDomElement</span> elt <span class="operator">=</span> root<span class="operator">.</span><a href="qdomnode.html#firstChildElement">firstChildElement</a>(<span class="string">"entry"</span>);
 <span class="keyword">for</span> (; <span class="operator">!</span>elt<span class="operator">.</span>isNull(); elt <span class="operator">=</span> elt<span class="operator">.</span>nextSiblingElement(<span class="string">"entry"</span>)) {
     <span class="comment">// ...</span>
 }
</pre>
