$('.myclass') is, as you've noticed, pretty slow because it has to search
through the *entire* page looking for element with a class of "myclass".
There are a couple things you can do:
If you know that all of the elements you want are, say, <div>'s, then
$('div.myclass');
is going to be a lot faster
If you know that all of the element you want are children of a particular
element, then you could do
$('.myclass', contextElement);
which will restrict jQuery's search to contextElement (instead of the entire
page)

Hi all,
I am using the $('.myclass') approach quite a lot, but am finding it is
slowing down my pages when used a lot. Is there an alternative method I can
use in jQuery that is faster? What about Xpath - any tips?
Thanks for you help...
Matthew
