return elements that match specified CSS selector(s)

What is the return type of querySelectorAll()?

Answers:

  • The querySelectorAll() method in the Document Object Model (DOM) returns a NodeList. Specifically, it returns a static NodeList, which means that it represents a snapshot of the elements that match the specified CSS selectors at the time the method is called.

    You can iterate over this NodeList using a loop or convert it to an array if you need to use array methods on it. However, the NodeList itself does not support all array methods directly.
