An <code> HTMLCollection </code> is a list of nodes. An individual node may be accessed by either ordinal index or the node's <code> name </code> or <code> id </code> attributes. Note: Collections in the HTML DOM are assumed to be live meaning that they are automatically updated when the underlying document is changed.
| unsigned long |
[const]
This attribute specifies the length or size of the list.
| Node |
[const]
This method retrieves a node specified by ordinal index. Nodes are numbered in tree order (depth-first traversal order).
Parameters:
| index | The index of the node to be fetched. The index origin is 0. |
Returns: The <code> Node </code> at the corresponding position upon success. A value of <code> null </code> is returned if the index is out of range.
| Node |
[const]
This method retrieves a <code> Node </code> using a name. It first searches for a <code> Node </code> with a matching <code> id </code> attribute. If it doesn't find one, it then searches for a <code> Node </code> with a matching <code> name </code> attribute, but only on those elements that are allowed a name attribute.
Parameters:
| name | The name of the <code> Node </code> to be fetched. |
Returns: The <code> Node </code> with a <code> name </code> or <code> id </code> attribute whose value corresponds to the specified string. Upon failure (e.g., no node with this name exists), returns <code> null </code> .
