java getelementsbytagname 不全,getElementsByTagName（）。length返回零

I am trying to do a simple thing such as:

var elements = document.getElementsByTagName("input");

console.log(elements);

console.log(elements.length);

The console.log(elements) shows the NodeList containing 28 input elements, but the elements.length is always 0.

I've also seen this getElementsByTagName("div").length returns zero for any webpage however I didn't understand what exactly is the reason for it happening and how to fix it. I've also noticed that this happens on both Firefox, IE, Chrome.

Anyone could help me out?

NodeList is a live collection and non-deferred scripts execute immediately (see script defer).

Try this and you will get an idea of what happens:

var elements = document.getElementsByTagName("div");

alert(elements.length);

//var elements = document.getElementsByTagName("div");

alert(elements.length);
