Nested tags & getElementsByTagName

[souporpower]

Hi

I have in HTML nested tags like

<span id=1 class=myclass1> <span id=2 class=myclass2>....</span></
span>

In Javascript I do

nodeList=document.getElementsByTagName('span');

The nodeList does not contain the span with id=2 for some strange
reason.

Can someone please tell me how to obtain *all* of the tags in the
document regardless
of nesting?

Thanks

???

id="2"
class="myclass2"

with quotes or double quotes

and then even ... an ID can't begin with a number !

And why that for ?


Déjà qu'on se demande pourquoi il faut une class différente pour chaque
sous-span ? !

Why do you need special sub-classes for sub-spans ?

span.myClass { color: red }
span.myClass span { color: blue
span.myClass span span { color: green }

<span class="myclass"> red
<span> blue
<span> green
</span>
</span>
</span>

For one, don't start ID's with number. ID's such as "1", "2", etc.
are clearly a bad idea.
