Constructor Detail

LinkTag

public LinkTag()

Constructor creates an LinkTag object, which basically stores the location where the link points to, and the text it contains.

In order to get the contents of the link tag, use the method children(), which returns an enumeration of nodes encapsulated within the link.

The following code will get all the images inside a link tag.

 Node node ;
 ImageTag imageTag;
 for (Enumeration e=linkTag.children();e.hasMoreElements();) {
      node = (Node)e.nextElement();
      if (node instanceof ImageTag) {
          imageTag = (ImageTag)node;
          // Process imageTag
      }
 }
