The length
read-only property of the DOMTokenList
interface is an integer
representing the number of objects stored in the object.
Syntax
tokenList.length;
Value
An integer
.
Examples
In the following example we retrieve the list of classes set on a <span>
element as a DOMTokenList
using Element.classList
, then write the length of the list to the <span>
's Node.textContent
.
First, the HTML:
<span class="a b c"></span>
Now the JavaScript:
var span = document.querySelector("span"); var classes = span.classList; var length = classes.length; span.textContent = 'classList length = ' + length;
The output looks like this:
