Calling Convention:

node.mask optional

A bitwise mask used to filter the results. See the Node Masking page for more information.

tagName optional
A tagName to match. When used instead of a node.mask only elements of node type 1 with a matching tagName will be counted.
Returns:
Boolean true or false
Properties:

The following "constants" exist to aid in creating masks.

_.Node.mask.ELEMENT    = 0x0001; // nodeType 1
_.Node.mask.TEXT       = 0x0004; // nodeType 3
_.Node.mask.PROCESSING = 0x0040; // nodeType 7
_.Node.mask.COMMENT    = 0x0080; // nodeType 8
_.Node.mask.DOCUMENT   = 0x0100; // nodeType 9
