The TreeWalker.filter
read-only property returns a
NodeFilter
that is the filtering object associated with the
TreeWalker
.
When creating the TreeWalker
, the filter object is passed in as the third
parameter, and its method NodeFilter.acceptNode()
is called on every
single node to determine whether or not to accept it.
Syntax
nodeFilter = treeWalker.filter;
Example
var treeWalker = document.createTreeWalker(
document.body,
NodeFilter.SHOW_ELEMENT,
{ acceptNode: function(node) { return NodeFilter.FILTER_ACCEPT; } },
false
);
nodeFilter = treeWalker.filter; // document.body in this case
