getElementsBySelector
W3C Selectors API를 사용하면 훨씬 더 간단하고 빠르게 사용할 수 있다.
IE 8, Firefox 3.5, Opera 10, Safari 3.2, Chrome 3, iPhone 2.2 이상 지원한다. IE 8은 58.8% 만 지원하기 때문에 사용에 주의할 필요가 있다. 보다 자세한 정보는 Browserscope 사이트에서 확인할 수 있다.
Simon Willison의 아주 유용한 스크립트로, CSS Selector를 이용해서 엘리먼트를 참조하게 해 준다. 리턴은 Array
/* document.getElementsBySelector(selector) - returns an array of element objects from the current document matching the CSS selector. Selectors can contain element names, class names and ids and can be nested. For example: elements = document.getElementsBySelect('div#main p a.external') Will return an array of all 'a' elements with 'external' in their class attribute that are contained inside 'p' elements that are contained inside the 'div' element which has id="main" New in version 0.4: Support for CSS2 and CSS3 attribute selectors: See http://www.w3.org/TR/css3-selectors/#attribute-selectors Version 0.4 - Simon Willison, March 25th 2003 -- Works in Phoenix 0.5, Mozilla 1.3, Opera 7, Internet Explorer 6, Internet Explorer 5 on Windows -- Opera 7 fails */ function getAllChildren(e) { // Returns all children of element.
