childNodes Property
Contains a node list containing the children nodes.
objXMLDOMNodeList = oXMLDOMNode.childNodes;
HRESULT get_childNodes(
IXMLDOMNodeList** childList
);
General Remarks
Note that IXMLDOMNodeList is returned even if there are no children of the node. In such a case, the length of the list will be set to 0. For information about valid child node types for each node, see XML DOM Enumerated Constants.
This value depends on the value of the nodeType property.
