Native JavaScript alternative for jQuery .contents() method

Question

I have a function that scans across HTML DOM tree and does the job. The problem is that function is written with JQUERY and I have to translate it to native HTML.

Looking for native javascript alternative for jQuery's .contents() method to translate the following line:

$myroot.contents().each(function (ind) {.....

Assuming that $myroot will be standard HTML element, how can I get all its contents?

Thanks in advance.

Sure :) I meant native javascript rather than native HTML :)) — Skatrix

If $myroot is something like this

$myroot = document.getElementsByClassName("classname");

then you can get contents like this

Array.prototype.forEach.call(elem, function(elem) {
    // Do stuff here
   console.log(elem.tagName);
});

Hope this helps. Thanks !!
