```
public class FormElement
extends Object
```
A FormElement represents one of the following HTML elements:
- <input>
- <textarea>
- <select>
- <option>
To process a FormElement, two steps are necessary:
1. set the text content of the FormElement by calling setContent(String)
2. calling processContent()
