        var placeholder = document.getElementById('placeholder');
        placeholder.setAttribute('src',source);
    
    }
    function countBodyChildren(){
        var body_element = document.getElementByTagName("body")[0];
        alert(body_element.childNodes.length);
    
    }    
    window.onload = countBodyChildren;

是getElementsByTagName，少了个s

window.onload = countBodyChildren; 得到是9个孩子节点
window.onload = countBodyChildren();得到的是8个孩子节点，这是为什么？
