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

Here is how to test if an object is a NodeList in modern browsers:

if (nodes instanceof NodeList) {
  // It's a NodeList object
}
