HTML 5 DOM defines complex data types such as collections and lists for convenient operations. Compared with HTML 4 DOM, HTML 5 DOM adds HTMLCollection, DOMTokenList, DOMStringMap, HTMLAllCollection, HTMLFormControlsCollection, etc.
1. HTMLCollection, HTMLAllCollection and HTMLFormControlsCollection
The three interfaces are used to represent a list composed of a set of elements. Both HTMLAllCollection and HTMLFormControlsCollection inherit from the HTMLCollection interface and rewrite the namedItem() method defined in the HTMLCollection interface. In DOM Notes (1): HTMLDocument interface, use document.forms (/images/embeds, etc.) to return an HTMLCollection object, document.all returns an HTMLAllCollection object, and document.forms.elements returns an HTMLFormControlsCollection object, which contains All form elements in the form.
Attribute or method | Data type | Description | |||||||||||||||
length | long | Read-only, returns the number of elements in the collection. All three interfaces have this attribute | |||||||||||||||
item() | object | 1. Get the elements in the collection according to the index. Define
document.forms(0)<=>document.forms[0]<=>document.forms.item(0 )
| |||||||||||||||
tags() | HTMLAllCollection | Get elements based on tag names. Defined in HTMLAllCollection | |||||||||||||||
namedItem() | object | Get the elements in the collection based on the name or id attribute. The differences are as follows: 1. In HTMLCollection, first search based on name, then search based on id, but only return the first matching element. If there is no matching element, null is returned. The following equivalents exist: document.forms['formname']<=>document.forms('formname')<=>document.forms.namedItem('formname') 2. In HTMLAllCollection, if there are multiple matching elements, an HTMLCollection object is returned; if there is only one matching element, the element is returned. 3. In HTMLFormControlsCollection, if there are multiple matching elements, a RadioNodeList object is returned; if there is only one matching element, the element is returned.

2. HTMLOptionsCollection interface
This interface returns a list of elements. Different from HTMLCollection, It specifically returns a list of option elements and overrides the length attribute and namedItem() method. The data type returned by the HTMLSelectElement.options property is HTMLOptionsCollection.
属性或方法 | 数据类型 | 说明 |
length | long | 集合中标识的数量 |
value | DOMString | 获取或设置DOMTokenList值 |
add() | void | 插入一个标识 |
contains() | boolean | 判断是否包含某标识 |
remove() | void | 删除一个标识 |
item() | object | 根据索引获取标识 |
toggle() | boolean | 标识存在则删除,不存在则添加 |
toString() | DOMString | 返回对象的字符串形式 |
4. DOMStringMap and NodeList
The DOMStringMap interface marks a collection of "key/value pairs", and the key-value pairs can be deleted, modified, etc. through JavaScript syntax. In DOM Notes (3): Element interface and HTMLElement interface, the data type returned by the HTMLElement.dataset property is DOMStringMap
<html><head> <title>DOMStringMap</title></head><body> <img id="ex" data-ship-id="92432" data-x="30" data-y="10" data-z="90"/> <script> var img = document.getElementById("ex"); //访问键值 alert(img.dataset.z); //设置键值 img.dataset.shipId="343434"; //创建新键值对 img.dataset.defend=100; //删除键值 delete img.dataset.y; </script></body></html>
NodeList interface represents a list composed of a series of nodes. document.getElementsByTagName() returns a NodeList object. It has a read-only length property, which is used to return the number of nodes; and an item() method, which is used to access nodes based on index. There are the following equivalent methods:
nodelist.item(0) <=>nodelist[0]<=>nodelist(0)
