      Returns:
      the newly created and initialized element

    • createElementNS

      DomElement createElementNS(SgmlPage page, String namespaceURI, String qualifiedName, Attributes attributes)

      namespaceURI - the URI that identifies an XML namespace
      qualifiedName - the qualified name of the element type to instantiate
