The XMLDOMNodeList object supports iteration through the live collection, in addition to indexed access.
IXMLDOMNodeList Methods
| item | Allows random access to individual nodes within the collection. |
| Length | Indicates the number of items in the collection. |
| nextNode | Returns the next node in the collection. |
| reset | Resets the iterator. |
Remarks
A node list collection is live; that is, the addition and removal of nodes, and changes within nodes, are immediately reflected in the collection. This means that two successive requests for items using the same index can return two different items, depending on changes to the collection. This also means that changes to the node objects are immediately available in the nodes obtained from the list. The collection can also be accessed using the "for..next" construct.
