Assert that the given `Element` is compatible with this class and automatically typecast it.

#### is

    public static boolean is(JavaScriptObject o)

Determines whether the given `JavaScriptObject` can be cast to this class. A `null` object will cause this method to return `false`.

#### is

    public static boolean is(Node node)

#### is

    public static boolean is(Element elem)

Determine whether the given `Element` can be cast to this class. A `null` node will cause this method to return `false`.

#### click

    public final void click()

Simulate a mouse-click. For INPUT elements whose type attribute has one of the following values: "button", "checkbox", "radio", "reset", or "submit".

#### getAccept

    public final java.lang.String getAccept()

A comma-separated list of content types that a server processing this form will handle correctly.

Alternate text for user agents not rendering the normal content of this element.

See Also:
  W3C HTML Specification

#### getDefaultValue

    public final java.lang.String getDefaultValue()

When the type attribute of the element has the value "text", "file" or "password", this represents the HTML value attribute of the element. The value of this attribute does not change if the contents of the corresponding form control, in an interactive user agent, changes.

See Also:
  W3C HTML Specification

#### getForm

    public final FormElement getForm()

Returns the FORM element containing this control. Returns null if this control is not within the context of a form.

#### getMaxLength

    public final int getMaxLength()

Maximum number of characters for text fields, when type has the value "text" or "password".

#### getSrc

    public final java.lang.String getSrc()

#### getType

    public final java.lang.String getType()

The type of control created (all lower case).

#### getValue

    public final java.lang.String getValue()

When the type attribute of the element has the value "text", "file" or "password", this represents the current contents of the corresponding form control, in an interactive user agent. Changing this attribute changes the contents of the form control, but does not change the value of the HTML value attribute of the element.

#### setChecked

    public final void setChecked(boolean checked)

When the type attribute of the element has the value "radio" or "checkbox", this represents the current state of the form control, in an interactive user agent.
