sounds like maybe you want a custom method like getElementById() or getElementByTagName(), but that retrieves all elements with the same className.

there's the beginning of some work here:

however, it's not as flexible as you might need, ie it only looks for the class in a pre-defined set of html tags and it's not actually a method of the document object.

good luck,
