Name

DOMImplementation.createHTMLDocument( ) — create a skeletal HTML document

Availability

DOM Level 2 HTML

Synopsis

HTMLDocument createHTMLDocument(String title);

Arguments

title

The title of the document. This text is used as the content of the <title> element of the newly created document.

Returns

The new HTMLDocument object.

Description

This method creates a new HTMLDocument object with a skeletal document tree that includes the specified title. The documentElement property of the returned object is an <html> element, and this root element has <head> and <body> tags as its children. The <head> element in turn has a <title> child, which has the specified title string as its child.

createHTMLDocument( ) is defined not by the DOMImplementation interface but by its HTMLDOMImplementation subinterface. If an implementation supports the “HTML” feature, its DOMImplementation object implements this method.
