NodeList (Java Platform SE 6)

This documentation differs from the official API. Jadeite adds extra features to the API including: variable font sizes, constructions examples, placeholders for classes and methods, and auto-generated “See Also” links. Additionally it is missing some items found in standard Javadoc documentation, including: generics type information, “Deprecated” tags and comments, “See Also” links, along with other minor differences. Please send any questions or feedback to bam@cs.cmu.edu.

public interface NodeList

The NodeList interface provides the abstraction of an ordered collection of nodes, without defining or constraining how this collection is implemented. NodeList objects in the DOM are live.

The items in the NodeList are accessible via an integral index, starting from 0.

Method Summary
`int`	`getLength()` The number of nodes in the list.
`Node`	`item(int index)` Returns the `index`th item in the collection.

Method Detail

getLength

public int getLength()

The number of nodes in the list. The range of valid child node indices is 0 to length-1 inclusive.

item

public Node item(int index)

Returns the indexth item in the collection. If index is greater than or equal to the number of nodes in the list, this returns null.

Parameters:: index - Index into the collection.
Returns:: The node at the indexth position in the NodeList, or null if that is not a valid index.
