Getting all elements that share the same class - possible?

[Martin Sammtleben]

Hi everyone,

I have been using a script to toggle the visibility (via the "display"
property) of a specific ID hence a single elemnt on a page using
document.getElementById:


function ToggleIDvis() {
if (!document.getElementById) return false;

var targetIDvis = document.getElementById("hidden");

if (targetIDvis.style.display == "block") {
targetIDvis.style.display = "none";
} else {
targetIDvis.style.display = "block";
}
}



Now I would like to toggle the visibility of multiple elements on the
page and I'm wondering if there's a way to get those elements by a
certain class name.

Any hints are very much appreciated!

Cheers Martin

There is, but it is more efficient to manipulate the respective
CSS rule, if supported. Please search before you post:
