[SOLVED] Setting up an array of children

[cleary1981]

Hi,

 

I can't find any good examples of this. What I want to do is setup an array for all the children of a given element. In my case the root element should be 'canvas', and the number of child nodes and their attributes will vary.

 

Help very much appreciated or a link to a decent tutorial.

 

Thanks

if it has child elements element.children would return an array.

 

however if i check a canvas tags with drawings in firebug i dont see any child elements in it so i am not sure if that would help
