immediateDescendants :: Element |
The returned array reflects the children order in the document (e.g., an index of 0 refers to the topmost child of element).
Note that all of Prototype’s DOM traversal methods ignore text nodes and return element nodes only.
Examples
<div id="australopithecus"> <div id="homo-herectus"> <div id="homo-neanderthalensis"></div> <div id="homo-sapiens"></div> </div> </div>
$('australopithecus').immediateDescendants(); // -> [div#homo-herectus]
$('homo-herectus').immediateDescendants(); // -> [div#homo-neanderthalensis, div#homo-sapiens]
$('homo-sapiens').immediateDescendants(); // -> []
