Curt Arnold The "getElementsByTagNameNS(namespaceURI,localName)" method for a Element should return a new NodeList of all descendant Elements with a given localName and namespaceURI in the order they were encountered in a preorder traversal of the document tree. Invoke method getElementsByTagNameNS(namespaceURI,localName) on the document element with namespaceURI being "*" and localName is "employee". Method should return a new NodeList containing five Elements. Retrieve the FOURTH element whose name should be "emp:employee". Derived from getElementsByTagNameNS02 and reflects its interpretation that namespace="*" matches namespace unqualified tagnames. Curt Arnold 2001-02-28
