Hi all,
I just landed support for ElementTraversal in firefox. This will be
available in tomorrow nightlies, as well as the upcoming Firefox 3.1
Alpha 2 release that should be out soon.
On top of this we also implement a 'children' property which is an
NodeList of all child elements to allow children to be reached by
index, such as
res = myElement.children[5];
The reason we chose the name 'children' for this property is that
this is already available in IE, Safari and Opera (which makes me
wonder about the arguments about this being too complex to implement).
In WebKit, we have the 'children' property implemented only on
HTMLElements and instead of returning a NodeList, it returns a
HTMLCollection (which differs only slightly from NodeList's interface).
