Rather than talk about technical details, can be talk about the actual use cases please, working groups keep on creating things which need implementing, testing etc. without once giving the use case. This thread is now 21 messages old and there's not one use case which is fulfilled by a getElementsByClassName. All the ones suggested are fulfilled by the ability to attach events to a particular class name. Jim.
