[thelist] Can you create tags in xhtml?

I have an xhtml application in which I need to append some dynamically
generated content areas with an clickable image that will allow
authenticated users to edit that specific content area.
Currently I am using div elements to show/hide these widgets. However, I
need to be able to reference the collection of these widgets as a group in
order to toggle their visibility or display property in javascript between
'block' and 'none'. Since there will be a variable number of these widgets
onscreen at a given time, a dynamic solution is needed.
Here's the current markup for an edit widget:
<div class="editWidget"><a href="javascript:edit(1,3)">edit widget image
goes here</a></div>
However, I can't think of any reliable method of getting a pointer to the
collection of divs whose class is editWidgets (from a .js file).
So, I thought that barring a solution to that problem, I could simply create
my own tag to substitute for the div element and do a getElementsByTagname
on that element. This is in the body of an xhtml strict doctype.
<editWidget><a href="javascript:edit(1,3)">edit widget image goes
here</a></editWidget>
However, this seems to work fine in IE, but not in Moz. Any suggestions
would be greatly appreciated.
