IBM Returns a NodeList of all the Elements with a given local name and namespace URI in the order in which they are encountered in a preorder traversal of the Document tree. Invoke getElementsByTagNameNS on the documentElement with the following values: namespaceURI: 'http://www.altavista.com' localName: '*'. Verify if this returns a nodeList of 1 elements.
