Question

I have written the following line in Javascript:

var eleCategory = document.getElementById("cmbCategory");

Now I want to find all elementbyClassName contained in the eleCategory element.

Is it possible with something like this?

 var eleChild = eleCategory.getElementByClassName("autoDropdown");

How can I get the child element of the parent element?

Answer 1

getElementsByClassName hasn’t been implemented in all browsers. Niels’ solution, for instance, doesn’t work in IE. However, others have created their own implementation; John Resig has a write-up on his blog
