JavaScript DOM HTML method: isSameNode()
[this page | pdf | back links]
The isSameNode() method (when applied to HTML elements
in the JavaScript
DOM) returns true if two elements / nodes are the
same (i.e. not just equal but also computationally refer to the same node),
otherwise returns false.
Some major browsers no
longer support this method, so it is more robust to use the identically equal
operator ===.
It
has the following syntax with the following parameters. It returns a Boolean
as above.
element.isSameNode(node)
