The ParentNode.childElementCount
read-only property returns an unsigned long
representing the number of child elements of the given element.
This property was initially defined in the ElementTraversal
pure interface. As this interface contained two distinct set of properties, one aimed at Node
that have children, one at those that are children, they have been moved into two separate pure interfaces, ParentNode
and ChildNode
. In this case, childElementCount
moved to ParentNode
. This is a fairly technical change that shouldn't affect compatibility.
Syntax
var elCount = elementNodeReference.childElementCount;
Polyfill for Internet Explorer 8
This property is unsupported prior to IE9, so the following snippet can be used to add support to IE8:
// Source: https://github.com/Alhadis/Snippets/blob/master/js/polyfills/IE8-child-elements.js if(!("childElementCount" in document.documentElement)){ Object.defineProperty(Element.prototype, "childElementCount", { get: function(){ for(var c = 0, nodes = this.children, n, i = 0, l = nodes.length; i < l; ++i) (n = nodes[i], 1 === n.nodeType) && ++c; return c; } }); }
Specification
Specification | Status | Comment |
---|---|---|
DOM The definition of 'ParentNode.childElementCount' in that specification. |
Living Standard | Splitted the ElementTraversal interface in ChildNode and ParentNode . This method is now defined on the latter.The Document and DocumentFragment implemented the new interfaces. |
Element Traversal Specification The definition of 'ElementTraversal.childElementCount' in that specification. |
Recommendation | Added its initial definition to the ElementTraversal pure interface and use it on Element . |
