[Javascript] looping through nodeList

[Allard Schripsema]

Hi there,

i dont know about your loop, but this works:

var anchors = document.getElementsByTagName("a");
for (var anchor = 0; anchor<anchors.length;anchor++){
   var item = anchors[anchor];
   alert(item.href)
}
(an excess of vars, but its just an example ok:-)

Hope this helps, 

Allard Schripsema

Can't seem to get this down, I get an HTML object, but
it's length is zero.

var anchors = document.getElementsByTagName("a");
alert(anchors); // yields [object HTML Collection]

for (anchor in anchors)
{
   var item = anchor;
   alert(item); //yields length, item, namedItem
(once)
}

at this point, I cannot figure out for the life of me
how to access an instance of the anchors list.
Basically, I just want to call getAttribute("href") on
it.

It seems as though anchors is not really a nodeList,
more like a list of metadata about the nodeList.

Thanks.
