  * HTMLCollection is an interface representing a generic collection of elements (in document order) and offers methods and properties for traversing the list.
Note: This interface is called HTMLCollection for historical reasons (before DOM4, collections implementing this interface could only have HTML elements as their items).
HTMLCollections in the HTML DOM are live; they are automatically updated when the underlying document is changed.
