[Javascript] Code optimization

[Mike Dougherty]

<div id='filelist'>
   <img id="pfxName' ... /><label for='pfxName'>some text</label>
</div>

var aLabels = document.getElementById('filelist').getElementsByTagName('label');
for (iItem = 0; iItem < aLabels.length; iItem++) { do_something_here }

You could argue that the label tag is technically for describing a form control, but I think it 
makes sense as a general way to "label" any object.  You could also replace this tag with "<span>" 
and get rid of the 'for' attribute.  As long as you are not using span tags inside filelist, it is 
still easily selected by tag name.
