<p><code><strong>Свойство ParentNode.lastElementChild</strong></code> только для чтения. Возвращает последний дочерний элемент объекта или <code>null</code> если нет дочерних элементов.</p>

<div class="note">
<p>This property was initially defined in the {{domxref("ElementTraversal")}} pure interface. As this interface contained two distinct set of properties, one aimed at {{domxref("Node")}} that have children, one at those that are children, they have been moved into two separate pure interfaces, {{domxref("ParentNode")}} and {{domxref("ChildNode")}}. In this case, <code>lastElementChild</code> moved to {{domxref("ParentNode")}}. This is a fairly technical change that shouldn't affect compatibility.</p>
