Description:
------------
Published version (16-08-2004), VI. Function Reference, XXIV. DOM Functions

object DOMElement->getElementsByTagName ( string name)

This function returns a new instance of class DOMNodeList containing the elements with tagnames matching the name parameter. Use "*" for the name to return all elements within the document.

--------------------------

Maybee its more correct to describe the function as follows:

"Returns a a new instance of class DOMNodeList of all descendant elements with a given tag name, in the order in which they are encountered in a preorder traversal of this element tree.
Use "*" for the name to return all elements within this element tree."

W3C description is as follows:

"Returns a NodeList of all descendant Elements with a given tag name, in the order in which they are encountered in a preorder traversal of this Element tree."

This bug has been fixed in the documentation's XML sources. Since the
online and downloadable versions of the documentation need some time
to get updated, we would like to ask you to be a bit patient.

Thank you for the report, and for helping us make our documentation better.
