javax.swing.text.html.HTMLDocument getElement ByName

I am looking for ways to grab an element by name. I tried iterating one element at a time by using Element.getAttributes.getAttributeNames() and iterated through each element to find the name then checked it with the name I am looking for. Any alternatives or optimized way to grab the element directly?

This is the method I use to retrieve elements by tag name. For mixed-content elements (e.g., sub, sup, b, i), you need to look in the attributes of the “fake” content elements.

/**
 * Returns all elements of a particular tag name.
 *
 * @param tagName The tag name of the elements to return (e.g., HTML.Tag.DIV).
 * @param document The HTML document to find tags in.
 * @return The set of all elements in the HTML document having the specified tag name.
 */
public static Element[] getElementsByTagName(HTML.Tag tagName, HTMLDocument document)
{
    List<Element> elements = new ArrayList<Element>();

    for (ElementIterator iterator = new ElementIterator(document); iterator.next() != null;)
    {
        Element currentEl = iterator.current();

        AttributeSet attributes = currentEl.getAttributes();

        HTML.Tag currentTagName = (HTML.Tag) attributes.getAttribute(StyleConstants.NameAttribute);

        if (currentTagName == tagName)
        {
            elements.add(iterator.current());
        } else if (currentTagName == HTML.Tag.CONTENT) {
            for (Enumeration<?> e = attributes.getAttributeNames(); e.hasMoreElements();)
            {
                if (tagName == e.nextElement())
                {
                    elements.add(iterator.current());
                    break;
                }
            }
        }
    }

    return elements.toArray(new Element[0]);
}

Perhaps you could use the getElement() method? It takes as an argument the String value for the id of the element you are searching for.
