DocumentFragment: children property
Baseline Widely available
This feature is well established and works across many devices and browser versions. It’s been available across browsers since July 2015.
The read-only children
property returns a live HTMLCollection
which contains all of the child elements
of the document fragment upon which it was called.
Value
An HTMLCollection
which is a live, ordered collection of the DOM
elements which are children of the document fragment. You can access the
individual child nodes in the collection by using either the
item()
method on the collection, or by using
JavaScript array-style notation.
If the document fragment has no element children, then children
is an empty list with a
length
of 0
.
Examples
js
let fragment = new DocumentFragment();
fragment.children; // HTMLCollection []
let paragraph = document.createElement("p");
fragment.appendChild(paragraph);
fragment.children; // HTMLCollection [<p>]
