# XML DOM - The NamedNodeMap Object

The NamedNodeMap object represents an unordered list of nodes.

## The NamedNodeMap object

The nodes in the NamedNodeMap can be accessed through their name.

The NamedNodeMap keeps itself up-to-date. If an element is deleted or added, in the node list or the XML document, the list is automatically updated.

Note: In a named node map, the nodes are not returned in any particular order.

IE: Internet Explorer, F: Firefox, O: Opera, W3C: World Wide Web Consortium (Internet Standard)
