Re: .getElementsByName()

[Veli Senol]

hello,

this from the spec:

Note: Elements is the better solution for representing a collection of elements. HTMLCollection is an historical artifact we cannot rid the web of.

what does that mean in fact?

Does it mean:

document.getElementsByTagName('p')[0] is the better way than using

var paras = document.getElementsByTagName('p');

paras[0];

best regards

I recommend reading the DOM Standard instead:
https://dom.spec.whatwg.org/. What you're reading is not being
maintained.
