getElementsByClassName

getElementsByClassName doesn't work in IE. IE doesn't implement it.

You'll need to roll your own method, or use a Javascript library like jQuery (there are a dozen of them, but I like jQuery).

If you want to create your own, a quick Google search turned this code up:

document.getElementsByClassName = function(clsName){
    var retVal = new Array();
    var elements = document.getElementsByTagName("*");
    for(var i = 0;i < elements.length;i++){
        if(elements[i].className.indexOf(" ") >= 0){
            var classes = elements[i].className.split(" ");
            for(var j = 0;j < classes.length;j++){
                if(classes[j] == clsName)
                    retVal.push(elements[i]);
            }
        }
        else if(elements[i].className == clsName)
            retVal.push(elements[i]);
    }
    return retVal;
}
