Looking at the source code you could do getELementsByClassName("input_.+");, although it's undocumented behaviour so it might mysteriously break after a prototype upgrade one day. I know the current method (of using a regexp) is one of the slowest ways of doing it. > > also, is tthere a way to get elements by attribute? or would that be too > heavy on the load time? That shouldn't be too intensive. See prototype.js's defnition for getElementsByClassName and hack your own. What attribute would this be useful for? Getting all text inputs? I would just getElementsByTagName and do a quick loop. -Rob > _______________________________________________ > Rails-spinoffs mailing list > Rails-spinoffs@lists.rubyonrails.org > http://lists.rubyonrails.org/mailman/listinfo/rails-spinoffs _______________________________________________ Rails-spinoffs mailing list Rails-spinoffs@lists.rubyonrails.org http://lists.rubyonrails.org/mailman/listinfo/rails-spinoffs
