Using querySelectorAll(). Is the result returned by the method ordered?
The returned node list is ordered. A quick test proved it:
document.querySelectorAll("body, head")[0]; //Returned [object HTMLHeadElement]Obviously, the <head> tag appears before <body> in a HTML document. The first element of the NodeList is also a <head> element, even if the selector shows body before `head.
From http://www.w3.org/TR/selectors-api/#queryselectorall:
The
querySelectorAll()method on the NodeSelector interface must, when invoked, return a NodeList containing all of the matching Element nodes within the node’s subtrees, in document order. If there are no such nodes, the method must return an empty NodeList.
