Is there any way to get the collection of all textNode
objects within a document?
getElementsByTagName()
works great for Elements, but textNode
s are not Elements.
Update: I realize this can be accomplished by walking the DOM - as many below suggest. I know how to write a DOM-walker function that looks at every node in the document. I was hoping there was some browser-native way to do it. After all it's a little strange that I can get all the <input>
s with a single built-in call, but not all textNode
s.
