If not having jquery this could be a solution
<script type="text/javascript"> function getElementsByClassName(classname, node) { if(!node) node = document.getElementsByTagName("body")[0]; var a = []; var re = new RegExp('\\b' + classname + '\\b'); var els = node.getElementsByTagName("*"); for(var i=0,j=els.length; i<j; i++){ if(re.test(els[i].className)){ a.push(els[i]); } } return a; } </script>
