getElementById 1

[gapla]

Hi, i'm new to using DOM
How could i retrieve the content of a span without id ?
As in
<span class="blabla">
I know how to get it if it had an id, for example
getElementById("myHeader")

You could use a function to get elements by their className, such as the one in this handy FAQ I wrote for the JavaScript forum:

How can I get all elements by their class (frequently called getElementsByClass or getElementsByClassName) (faq216-6104)

or you could use:

var theSpan = document.getElementsByTagName('span')[someIndex];

if the span was always in the same place in the markup.

Hope this helps,
