org.w3c.dom.html
public interface: HTMLCollection [javadoc | source] An HTMLCollection is a list of nodes. An individual node may be accessed by either ordinal index or the node'sname or id attributes. Note: Collections in the HTML DOM are assumed to be live meaning that they are automatically updated when the underlying document is changed.
