Is there a function like getElementsByClassName where I can use regex to
match the class names?
There's no such sugar currently implemented in Prototype, but, as Aaron
showed you already, it's quite easy to implement.
Allegedly, a more efficient solution would be to use XPath, for which we
have "document._getElementsByXPath" (example below). There is one "tiny"
problem though (hence the underscore): this method is available only for
browsers that support "document.evaluate" method.
You'll have to bake your own method for the "others" and submit a patch :)
AFAIK Internet Explorer has an ActiveX object supporting XPath -
Msxml.DOMDocument - but that's all I heard ;-)
I want to match class names starting with ...
document._getElementsByXPath('.//*[contains(concat(" ", @class), " foo")]')
^ this would return a list of elements that have class names starting with
"foo".
cheers
