Question

I have a script (helped out by @briguy37 Remove multiple elements with same name using removeChild?) that removes all the elements with a certain class name by using a for loop and using removeChild. Its working perfectly in FF, but in IE, i get the error

Object doesnt support this property or method

The project can be viewed at: http://jsfiddle.net/U8xkg/31/

The error refers to the line:

var childNodesToRemove = document.getElementById(parentId).getElementsByClassName('foo');

Any ideas?

Thanks.

Answer 1

document.getElementsByClassName = function(class_name)
{
    var all = this.getElementsByTagName('*');
    var matchArray = new Array();
    var re = new RegExp("(?:^|\\s)" + class_name + "(?:\\s|$)");
    for (var i = 0, l = all.length; i < l; i++)
    {
        if (re.test(all[i].className))
            matchArray.push(all[i]);
    }
    return matchArray;
}
