However, the jQuery solution works for me in IE7 and IE8, which I have
to support. You solution doesn't, even when I polyfill `.trim()`,
because those browsers also don't support `.getElementsByClassName()`.
In my quick test [1], your solution performs better than jQuery in
Firefox (only by about half an order of magnitude, not a full order.)
They perform the same in Chrome 15 and Android. But without writing a
polyfill for gEBCN, I can't even test in older IEs.
And, as someone else has pointed out, this is not likely something
that will run in a tight loop. So does it really matter that it can
be run 100,000 times per second rather than a mere 30,000?
