Class Element

      com.google.gwt.core.client.JavaScriptObject
          com.google.gwt.dom.client.Node
              com.google.gwt.dom.client.Element

Deprecated.

    @Deprecated
    public class Element

extends Element

An opaque handle to a native DOM Element. An `Element` cannot be created directly. Instead, use the `Element` type when returning a native DOM element from JSNI methods. An `Element` passed back into JSNI becomes the original DOM element the `Element` was created from, and can be accessed in JavaScript code as expected. This is typically done by calling methods in the `DOM` class.

As of GWT 2.6, users should use `Element` instead. As an exception, some methods still return a `Element` object for backwards compatibility (though this will change in a future release), so overriding them will require returning an `Element` object too.
