To be honest, I'm not sure how I would use it as it was a pure "hey, I could do that too" kind of thing. I can imagine some uses and once I put it to use, I imagine there'll be some adjustments to make. Speaking of which- push(). *duh* Thanks :) definitely not meant as a replacement for getElementsByClass.

Less than symbol stripped out... lets try this: function getElementsByAttribute(the_node, the_attribute, the_value){ var node_tags = the_node.getElementsByTagName('*'); var results = []; for(var i=0;i<node_tags.length;i++){ if(node_tags[i].hasAttribute(the_attribute)){ if(node_tags[i].getAttribute(the_attribute) == the_value){ results.push(node_tags[i]); } } } return results; } Doh!… Less than symbol stripped out… lets try this:

function getElementsByAttribute(the_node, the_attribute, the_value){
var node_tags = the_node.getElementsByTagName('*');
var results = [];
for(var i=0;i<node_tags.length;i++){
if(node_tags[i].hasAttribute(the_attribute)){
if(node_tags[i].getAttribute(the_attribute) == the_value){
results.push(node_tags[i]);
}
}
}
return results;
}

I hope this wasn't meant as a replacement for the getElementsByClass, as it will fail if more than one class is applied to an element. ;-) 2.) Minor, but you can save some code, and avoid some global variables (i & j), with a few adjustments to your function. function getElementsByAttribute(the_node, the_attribute, the_value){ var node_tags = the_node.getElementsByTagName('*'); var results = []; for(var i=0;i A few notes…
