Description:
------------

Functions

object DOMElement->getElementsByTagName ( string name)

This function returns a new instance of class DOMNodeList containing
the elements with tagnames matching the name parameter. Use "*" for the
name to return all elements within the document.

Maybee its more correct to describe the function as follows:

"Returns a a new instance of class DOMNodeList of all descendant
elements with a given tag name, in the order in which they are
encountered in a preorder traversal of this element tree.
Use "*" for the name to return all elements within this element tree."

W3C description is as follows:

"Returns a NodeList of all descendant Elements with a given tag name,
in the order in which they are encountered in a preorder traversal of
this Element tree."
