getElementsByTagName() equivalent for textNodes

Question

Is there any way to get the collection of all textNode objects within a document?

getElementsByTagName() works great for Elements, but

Answer 1

var el1 = document.childNodes[0]
function get(node,ob)
{
        ob = ob || {};

        if(node.childElementCount)
        {

            ob[node.nodeName] = {}
            ob[node.nodeName]["text"] = [];
            for(var x = 0; x < node.childNodes.length;x++)
            {   
                if(node.childNodes[x].nodeType == 3)
                {
                    var txt = node.childNodes[x].nodeValue;


                    ob[node.nodeName]["text"].push(txt)
                    continue
                }
                get(node.childNodes[x],ob[node.nodeName])       
            };  
        }
        else
        {
            ob[node.nodeName]   = (node.childNodes[0] == undefined ? null :node.childNodes[0].nodeValue )
        }
        return ob
}



var o = get(el1)
console.log(o)
