getLength

public int getLength()
The number of form controls in the form.


getName

public String getName()
Names the form.


setName

public void setName(String name)
Names the form.


getAcceptCharset

public String getAcceptCharset()
List of character sets supported by the server. See the accept-charset attribute definition in HTML 4.01.


setAcceptCharset

public void setAcceptCharset(String acceptCharset)
