I am developing a DOM api in C++ for our product the SGML/XML editor Documentor and I am
a bit confused about the Element::getElementsByTagName method.
In the specification:
"Parameters
tagname
The name of the tag to match on. If the string "*" is given, this method will
return all elements in the document"
Does it really mean that "*" returns all elements in the Document, even the elements in the
parent chain of the element instance, or does it mean all elements descending the
element instance?
Also: I presume that the method is recursive, please tell me if i am wrong.
