//EDIT My issue was related to something else, I thought the implementation was incorrect but it actually works, thanks for the confirmation.

Looked in jQuery and prototypejs, can’t seem to find the way they implement getElementsByTagName on a element (not document.getElementsByTagName).

Here’s my test html:

<div id='something' style='margin: 10px 10px 10px 15px; overflow: auto; position: relative; height: 200px;'>     <div style='float: left; width: 180px; font-size: 10px; margin-bottom: 4px;'>         <label for='label_50'>             <img style='vertical-align: middle; margin-right: 3px;' src='http://web1.wow.com/i/i_ask_sm.gif'/>             <a style='color: rgb(0, 0, 0); text-decoration: underline;' href='http://myjeeves.ask.com/mysearch/BookmarkIt?v=1.2&t=webpages&url=[URL]&title=[TITLE]' post_link='http://myjeeves.ask.com/mysearch/BookmarkIt?v=1.2&t=webpages&url=[URL]&title=[TITLE]' rel='external' target='_blank'>Ask</a>         </label>     </div> </div>

And my current js:

document.getElementById('something').getElementsByTagName('a');

I’m looking for the correct implementation of this because of course IE doesn’t seem to work correctly with it, and I can’t use a framework.

  1. <div id='something' style='margin: 10px 10px 10px 15px; overflow: auto; position: relative; height: 200px;'>     <div style='float: left; width: 180px; font-size: 10px; margin-bottom: 4px;'>         <label for='label_50'>             <img style='vertical-align: middle; margin-right: 3px;' src='http://web1.wow.com/i/i_ask_sm.gif'/>             <a style='color: rgb(0, 0, 0); text-decoration: underline;' href='http://myjeeves.ask.com/mysearch/BookmarkIt?v=1.2&t=webpages&url=[URL]&title=[TITLE]' post_link='http://myjeeves.ask.com/mysearch/BookmarkIt?v=1.2&t=webpages&url=[URL]&title=[TITLE]' rel='external' target='_blank'>Ask</a>         </label>     </div> </div> <pre> <script type='text/javascript'> var lnks = document.getElementById('something').getElementsByTagName('a'); for (var ii = 0; ii < lnks.length; ++ii) {     document.writeln(lnks[ii].href); } </script> </pre>

    In IE6, IE7 and IE8RC1 this outputs:

    http://myjeeves.ask.com/mysearch/BookmarkIt?v=1.2&t=webpages&url=[URL]&title=[TITLE]

    Does your example not actually demonstrate the problem?
