I am trying to select same elements with different parents that have the same class using getElementsByClassName, but i get the following error message:

org.mozilla.javascript.EcmaError: TypeError: Cannot find function getElementsByClassName in object com.arbortext.epic.internal.aom.DocumentImpl@156d16c0. (C:\program files\ptc\arbortext editor\custom\scripts\Local.js#3985)

Any idea why getElementsByClassName cannot by found? How would I get getElementsByClassName to work?

Thank you for help!

Have a blessed day!

Hi Florin--

Document.getElementsByClassName() is a DOM level 4 function, but Arbortext's AOM is based on DOM level 2. So that function is not available in Arbortext.

You may be able to accomplish what you need with the ADocument.getElementsByAttribute() (or getElementsByAttributeNS(), if you are using namespaces).

Thank you Clay! That worked fine for me.

I wonder when PTC would migrate its AOM to DOM level 4 since DOM level 2 is almost 7-8 years old?

    You could propose it as a "Product Idea" and see what kind of response you get from PTC.
