Returns a list of all descendant elements that match the supplied name.
Syntax
objXMLDOMNodeList = oXMLDOMElement.getElementsByTagName(tagName)
Parameters
tagName
String specifying the name of the element to find. The string "*" matches all descendant elements of this element.
Returns
Object. Returns an XMLDOMNodeList object containing all elements that match the supplied name.
Remarks
Elements appear in the order encountered in a preorder traversal of this element's tree.
Note that the XMLDOMNodeList object is returned even if there are no matches. In such a case, the length of the list will be set to zero.
The XMLDOMNodeList object is live and immediately reflects changes to the nodes that appear in the list.
