XML in a Nutshell, 3rd Edition

Name

getElementsByTagNameNS: namespaceURI, localName(2)

Synopsis

Like the getElementsByTagName method, returns a list of Element nodes (descendants of the Element node on which the method is called) that match the criteria given in the namespaceURI and localName parameters. The resulting list contains all elements matching the namespace URI and local name restrictions, as they would be encountered in a preorder traversal of the document tree.

Arguments

namespaceURI: DOMString

The namespace URI of elements to be matched. The special * value matches any namespace.

localName: DOMString

The local name part of elements to be matched. The special value * matches any local name.

Java binding

public NodeList getElementsByTagNameNS(String namespaceURI,
                                       String localName);
