title: HTML DOM querySelectorAll
---
The Document method `querySelectorAll()` returns a static (not live) `NodeList` representing a list of the document's elements that match the specified group of selectors.
**HTML content:**
```html
first div
second div
element-exampleanother-element-example
```
**JavaScript content:**
```javascript
document.querySelectorAll(".class-example"); // Returns all of the elements with class `class-example`
document.querySelectorAll("a"); // Returns all `a` element
```
**Note**
`querySelectorAll()` behaves differently than most common JavaScript DOM libraries, which might lead to unexpected results.
Consider this HTML, with its three nested `
` blocks.
```html
```
```javascript
var select = document.querySelector('.select');
var inner = select.querySelectorAll('.outer .inner');
inner.length; // 1, not 0!
```
