    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.

Constructor Detail

### Element

    protected Element()

  Not directly instantiable. Subclasses should also define a protected no-arg constructor to prevent client code from directly instantiating the class.
