Class HTMLHead

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    HTMLTagElement, java.io.Serializable

    public class HTMLHead
extends HTMLTagAttributes
implements java.io.Serializable
    The HTMLHead class represents an HTML head tag, which contains information about the HTML document.

    This example creates an HTMLHead tag: 

      // Create an HTMLHead with a title.
  HTMLHead head = new HTMLHead("My HTML Document");
  
  // Create an HTMLMeta.
  HTMLMeta meta = new HTMLMeta("expires", "Mon, 01 Jun 2000 12:00:00 CST");
  HTMLMeta meta2 = new HTMLMeta("refresh", "5", "http://www.sample.com/next.html");
  
  // Add the meta information to the HTMLHead
  head.addMetaInformation(meta);
  head.addMetaInformation(meta2);

    Here is the output of the HTMLHead tag:

      <head>
  <meta http-equiv="expired" content="Mon, 06 Jun 2000 12:00:00 CST" />
  <meta http-equiv="refresh" content="5; URL=http://www.sample.com/next.html" />
  <title>My HTML Document</title>
  </head>
    Using XSL Formatting Objects, the head tag represents a page header.

    Calling getFOTag() would produce the following. 

      <fo:static-content flow-name='xsl-region-before'>
  <fo:block-container>
  My HTML Document</fo:block-container>
  </fo:static-content>

    HTMLHead objects generate the following events:

    • ElementEvent - The events fired are:
      • elementAdded
      • elementRemoved
    • PropertyChangeEvent
