[TYPO3-core] RFC: #8724: getElementsByClassName does not work properly in Firefox 3 and is deprecated in prototype.js

[Helmut Hummel]

Hi,

This is an SVN patch request.

Type: Bugfix

Bugtracker reference: http://bugs.typo3.org/view.php?id=8724

Branches: TYPO3_4-2, trunk (probably 4_1)

The use of getElementsByClassName is deprecated within the prototype 
framework an causes trouble with the native Firefox implementation (does 
not work in FF3).

(lookup: http://ejohn.org/blog/getelementsbyclassname-pre-prototype-16/ 
for more information regading the problem)

Solution:
Replace Element.getElementsByClassName() call with it's prototype 
pendant Elment.select() as proposed in the document above.

Remark:
I tested the patch in FF3, FF2, IE6 and Safari 3.1.1 (on Mac).

Kind regards
Helmut
