Getting an array of nested elements 1

[1DMF]

how do I grab an object such as a div including all its child objects such as the <ul>, <li> , <a> etc...

If I create an object using getElementById does this also get the child nodes? and if so how do I refer to them, and if not how do I create an object which holds an element and it's child nodes so I can then apply style attributes to the child elements. ?

thanks 1DMF.

I'm not expert in this but wouldn't this give you what you need?

var children = document.getElementById('myElement').childnodes

I think that will give you an array of the children of myElement. Then you can loop through it and do what you want to them.

thanks, i've actually found this peice of code which helped me to acheive what i needed

navHover = function() {
	[b]var lis = document.getElementById("navmenu").getElementsByTagName("LI");[/b]
	for (var i=0; i<lis.length; i++) {
		lis[i].onmouseover=function() {
			this.className+=" iehover";
		}
		lis[i].onmouseout=function() {
			this.className=this.className.replace(new RegExp(" iehover\\b"), "");
		}
	}
}
if (window.attachEvent) window.attachEvent("onload", navHover);

It shows how you can grab the ElementById and concatinate the ByTagName into an array.

the problem that's been driving me mad is the CSS bit , but I think i've nearly cracked it
