These are all three of incredibly long, inconsistent with the naming of current get-family methods (there's nothing named getElementListBy...), and somewhat unclear about what the method really does (sounds like "Selectors" would mean you give it an array of selectors or otherwise pass more than one). Congratulations, design by committee has once again failed to meet anyone's requirements (in other words, I object to these names). Regards, Maciej
