Description
I added some information about empty text nodes in the
Node.childNodes
documentation, with a reference to a documentation about the subject.This was inspired by the notes in the previousSiblings and nextSiblings pages.
Motivation
I got myself pretty confused when trying to find out why
childNodes
was returning an array full of empty text nodes, and took me a while to find a reference to this very helpful docs that made things clearer for me. I think other people could use this reference in the future when faced with a similar problem.
