Somejavascript engine already support GetElementByClass, for example Opera
does.

No javascript's getElementByID() won't work here. As "question" is a
class, not an ID. But like what was mentioned here, you can use
getElementByClass() with Opera, and that will work.

Opera 10.10 is a very nice version, but 10.50 could be quite slow with
some web pages.

I still remember that once upon a time, Opera was so broken, and it also
showed you that little window for ads ;-)

I love to see opera get a chance, but its market share is not moving even
with the release Opera 10.

regexp is the best fit here and not much effort to do. Especially consider
this is only for one time use.

GetElementByClass?

Hi gang:

Here's the problem.

I have 184 HTML pages in a directory and each page contain a
question. The question is noted in the HTML DOM like so:

Who is Roger Rabbit?

tags, but I was hoping for a "GetElementByClass"
way to do this.

So, is there one?

Thanks,

tedd

But he also mentioned that he wanted to avoid copy and paste... it does
give me the feeling that this is a one time thing, and he just wanted to
extract the questions.

Talking about Opera's 'speed dial"... I downloaded safari yesterday (which
I didn't like last time I used it), it now has the same kind of page but
with sort of 3D looking.

I don't think there is a getElementsByClass function. HTML5 is proposing
one, but that will most likely be implemented in Javascript before PHP
Dom. There is a way to tidy up the HTML to make it XHTML, but I'm not
sure what it is. If you know roughly where in the document the HTML
snippet is you can use XPath to grab it.

Failing that, what about a regex? It shouldn't be too hard to write a
regex to match your example above.

Why don't you just use REGEX? I don't know any possibility to easily
process contents which are not valid XML/XHTML just because there's no
library to load such stuff (but put me in right there).

I'm not an expert of REGEX, but I think the following would do it:
/\<p\s*class\=\"question\"\s*\>(.*)\<\/p\>

Yes, because Opera is pretty much leading the way with its HTML5
support. Not even Firefox supports as much as Opera does.

In your original post, you said the data you had was:

Hi

You could replace the "class" with "id" and then go on with JavaScript.

A possible better way are regular expressions...

Opera has led the way in most things over the years. It was the first
browser to have addons, first browser to have tabs, first to have that
odd homepage with thumbnails of your 9 most popular sites.

If you are open to use javascript then a js library like jQuery may help in
selecting all elements from a particular class.

$(".clasName")

No, this will not work, if it appeared working, please re-check your data,
and make sure you didn't miss anything...

Run the following in any browser, and see whether you get a pop up, then
change class= to ID=, and run it again.

Who is Roger Rabbit?

My example shows how, namely:

will return the value within the class.

Ash:

I don't have a problem solving the problem the long way, which is to:

1. Load the file;
2. Parse between the markers;
3. Strip tags and replace extra white space.
4. Save to the db.

In fact, here's the code I used to solve the problem:

//--------

$filesize = filesize($filename);
$file = fopen( $filename, "r" );
$text = fread( $file, $filesize );
fclose( $file );

$marker1 = "

";
$marker2 = "

Sort of.

Like I said, the folling will work:

document.getElementById("question").innerHTML;

While you are using a getElementById, which returns an ID, but adding
..innerHTML will return the class value.

Try it.

I can go with javascript "as-is" (what I showed) and don't have to
change any html.

Yeah, one reason was to get this done in one operation and not step
through the questions like I would have to do using javascript to
approve (trigger) each step.

But my main reason for posting was to see if PHP had DOM operators
like javascript.

i did, and just like i thought, it doesnt work. why, .innerHTML is executed
*after* document.getElementById("question"), meaning if that returns
nothing; which in this case it does, then there is nothing for innerHTML to
operate on.

i in fact had to wrap the call in an exception just to get it from blowing
up in firefox.

Nope, I was wrong here.

I was looking at the wrong example.

Yeah, I was looking at the wrong example I created.

That example used ID's and I thought it was operating on class.

Sorry,
