   Cannot use.; the getElementsByClassName() method is not supported in 
Internet Explorer 8 and earlier versions.

  Now, getElementByClassName() is not even mentioned as being valid, and 
so there is even less info if wonderful M$ HEXploder would work.

   I could just as easily make up something: fetchStuffByAnyNameOrId(); 
the only advantage would be that i would KNOW it would not work.
