querySelectorAll method
Retrieves all Document Object Model (DOM) element nodes from descendants of the starting element node that match any selector within the supplied selector strings.
Syntax
HRESULT retVal = object.querySelectorAll(v, pel);
Parameters
v [in]
Type: BSTRThe selector string.
pel [out, retval]
Type: IHTMLDOMChildrenCollectionA collection of DOM element nodes. The collection may be empty.
Return value
Type: HRESULT
If this method succeeds, it returns S_OK. Otherwise, it returns an HRESULT error code.
Standards information
- Selectors API Level 1, Section 6.1
Remarks
This method differs from the IDocumentSelector::querySelector method by returning a collection of DOM element nodes that match the selector string, rather than only the first element found.
Examples
This example shows two div objects that each contain a list whose items are defined with a selector string. The example includes two buttons that use the IDocumentSelector::querySelectorAll method to return items from the list.
Code example: http://samples.msdn.microsoft.com/workshop/samples/css/SelectorsAPI/querySelectorAll.html
<div id="fruitsalad">
<span>Fruit Salad</span>
<ul>
<li class="fruit">apples</li>
<li class="fruit">oranges</li>
<li class="fruit">grapes</li>
<li class="fruit">melon</li>
</ul>
</div>
<div id="greensalad">
<span>Green Salad</span>
<ul>
<li class="green">lettuce</li>
<li class="green">tomato</li>
<li class="green">onion</li>
<li class="green">cucumber</li>
</ul>
</div>
<input onclick="getFruit()" type="button" value="Fruit Salad Ingredients">
<input onclick="getGreen()" type="button" value="Green Salad Ingredients">
<div id="inOut"></div>
Each button calls a function that uses the IDocumentSelector::querySelectorAll method to return list items associated with a specific selector string, either fruit or green.
function getFruit() {
var fruits = document.getElementById('fruitsalad').querySelectorAll('li.fruit');
var fruitList = "";
for (var i = 0; i < fruits.length; i++) {
fruitList = fruitList + (fruits[i].innerHTML+' ');
}
inOut.innerHTML = fruitList;
}
function getGreen() {
var greens = document.getElementById('greensalad').querySelectorAll('li.green');
var greenList = "";
for (var i = 0; i < greens.length; i++) {
greenList = greenList + (greens[i].innerHTML + ' ');
}
inOut.innerHTML = greenList;
}
