I was *messing* around with 2 different *examples*. 1.) http://shadow2531.com/opera/js/getElementsByClassName/000.html That one supports: getElementsByClassName(string); getElementsByClassName(array); If the string has spaces in it, it's considered that nothing will match and returns null. If it's an array, all must be present for an element to match. 2.) http://shadow2531.com/opera/js/getElementsByClassName/001.html Now this one supports the same 2 types, but the string handling is different. The string is space-separated. So, with this second example, you can do: document.getElementsByClassName("aaa"); document.getElementsByClassName(["bbb", "ccc"]); document.getElementsByClassName("bbb ccc"); (The second 2 produce the same result. The 3rd one might just be cleaner in certain situations) I'm liking what options the second example provides. (not necessarily the code as I just threw it together and didn't think about exceptions, optimization and code size. Plus I just used a global function for the example.) Do you agree with the string being space-separated? It seems to make sense at least for html where a classname can't have spaces.
looks good to me, the only quirk of this would be that you cant choose class="foo bar" specifically over class="foo" with gebcn("foo bar") but if this is the stated behaviour then i guess that's ok.
on a side note, it might also be worth stating that in this case gebcn("foo bar") should only return the class="foo bar" element once, not twice (one instance for "foo" and one instance for "bar"). just for completeness
