extern class js.html.InputElement
extends Element
Available in js
DOM Input objects expose the HTMLInputElement (or HTML 4 HTMLInputElement) interface, which provides special properties and methods (beyond the regular element object interface they also have available to them by inheritance) for manipulating the layout and presentation of input elements.
