The ParentNode.lastElementChild
read-only property returns the object's last child Element
or null
if there are no child elements.
This property was initially defined in the ElementTraversal
pure interface. As this interface contained two distinct set of properties, one aimed at Node
that have children, one at those that are children, they have been moved into two separate pure interfaces, ParentNode
and ChildNode
. In this case, lastElementChild
moved to ParentNode
. This is a fairly technical change that shouldn't affect compatibility.
Syntax
var element = node.lastElementChild;
Example
<ul id="foo"> <li>First (1)</li> <li>Second (2)</li> <li>Third (3)</li> </ul> <script> var foo = document.getElementById('foo'); // yields: Third (3) console.log(foo.lastElementChild.textContent); </script>
Polyfill for IE8, IE9 and Safari
// Overwrites native 'lastElementChild' prototype. // Adds Document & DocumentFragment support for IE9 & Safari. // Returns array instead of HTMLCollection. ;(function(constructor) { if (constructor && constructor.prototype && constructor.prototype.lastElementChild == null) { Object.defineProperty(constructor.prototype, 'lastElementChild', { get: function() { var node, nodes = this.childNodes, i = nodes.length - 1; while (node = nodes[i--]) { if (node.nodeType === 1) { return node; } } return null; } }); } })(window.Node || window.Element);
Specification
Specification | Status | Comment |
---|---|---|
DOM The definition of 'ParentNode.lastElementChild' in that specification. |
Living Standard | Splitted the ElementTraversal interface in ChildNode and ParentNode . This method is now defined on the latter.The Document and DocumentFragment implemented the new interfaces. |
Element Traversal Specification The definition of 'ElementTraversal.lastElementChild' in that specification. |
Obsolete | Added its initial definition to the ElementTraversal pure interface and use it on Element . |
