If Element extends Node, then it inherits all
its methods, including
getChildElements.
getChildElements() is not available in either Node or Element.
May be I explained wrong. What I meant to say is, I can iterate over
Nodes
in the dom tree, not Elements.
But you can always use instanceof and cast...
I kind of thought of that. I mean in xhtml all tags should be Elements right
? But wasn't sure of this myself. And if the instanceof check fails, what
should be the logic to handle that case ? Won't this complicate the code
than it is now ?
Thanks.
