How to detect HTMLCollection/NodeList in JavaScript?

Question

I\'m not sure my current implementation is available all the time:

function isNodeList(nodes) {
    var result = Object.prototype.toString.call(nodes);
    /         


        

Answer 1

The following should return true, if nodes is of type NodeList

NodeList.prototype.isPrototypeOf(nodes)

@DavidSpector, for HTMLCollection you can similarly use :

HTMLCollection.prototype.isPrototypeOf(collection)
