Synopsis

                           e.getElementsByTagName(tagName)

Returns the list of Element instances within the subtree rooted at e whose tag equals string tagName, in the same order as in the XML document. e is included in the list that getElementsbyTagName returns if e’s tag equals tagName. getElementsbyTagName may return the empty list when no node in the subtree rooted at e has a tag equal to tagName. When tagName is '*', getElementsbyTagName returns the list of all Element instances within the subtree, with any tag, including e.
