create a HTMLCollection

Question

I\'m trying to shim Element.prototype.children which should return a HTMLCollection

There is a window.HTMLCollection

However

var h = new HTML         


        

Answer 1

I think this is the proper way of creating HTMLCollection, which is handled by the browser.

var docFragment = document.createDocumentFragment();
docFragment.appendChild(node1);
docFragment.appendChild(node2);
var myHTMLCollection = docFragment.children;
