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
|
|
<div class="class-example">first div</div>
|
|
<div class="class-example">second div</div>
|
|
<a>element-example</a>
|
|
<a>another-element-example</a>
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**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 `<div>` blocks.
|
|
```html
|
|
<div class="outer">
|
|
<div class="select">
|
|
<div class="inner">
|
|
</div>
|
|
</div>
|
|
</div>
|
|
```
|
|
```javascript
|
|
var select = document.querySelector('.select');
|
|
var inner = select.querySelectorAll('.outer .inner');
|
|
inner.length; // 1, not 0!
|
|
```
|
