Why does the Selectors API define two methods for retrieving nodes?
I understand that there are speed gains by having a method that grabs
just the first node, but how often do you want to do that? Don't you
want to grab the second node as often? Or the last?
How do you mean?
Sorry for not being clear.
What I mean is, why does grabbing the first node deserve its own method?
Is that really a common thing to do, grabbing the first node? More common
than grabbing the second or last node for instance?
I do agree with this, there seems to be very few use cases where just 1 is
useful and the user is not going to be able to use .getElementById instead.
Cheers,
Jim.
