Not always, no.  But that part of the thread was fine: I asked "can you
say more" and you did.  You said enough to explain the error --
getElementsByName is simply not a method of elements.

But that problem was immediately explained -- getElementsByName is not a
method of elements but of documents.  Is that was you have been
discussing ever since -- that one incorrect method call?  I thought you
understood why it will not work.  My request for an example was not a
request to repeat that example.

If there is something else not working, please give an example document.
