[thelist] Getting Child Elements from an HTML Element in JS

[Chris Evans]

How do I retrieve the child elements of a HTML ELement using Javascript? 
  For example, I have this:

<div id ="topDiv">
     <div id="parentDiv1">
	<div id="childDiv1">
	</div>
	<div id="childDiv2">
	</div>
     </div>
</div>

Given the element parentDiv1, how would I go about retrieving childDiv1 
and childDiv2 programmatically?

Thanks,

Chris Evans
