childNodes Property

Definition

The `childNodes` property returns a collection list of an element's child nodes.

Value

The `childNodes` property returns a `NodeList` object.

Usage

You can check if an element has child nodes using `element.hasChildNodes`. This method returns a boolean value indicating whether the element has child nodes.

For example:

```html const element = document.getElementById('myElement'); if (element.hasChildNodes()) { // The element has at least one child node. } ```

You can also use the `childNodes` property to iterate over an element's child nodes. For example:

```html const element = document.getElementById('myElement'); for (let i = 0; i < element.childNodes.length; i++) { const childNode = element.childNodes[i]; // Do something with the child node. } ```

Notes

• If you leave any white space or line feeds, the list will still have child nodes.
• The `childNodes` property is read-only.
