That method looks like it works a little bit different. It looks at
all the ol tags and looks for a class of tree on those tags. The
prototype version doesn't take any parameters for tag name. It is
used like this:
var trees = document.getElementsByClassName('tree', parent_dom_element_or_id);
As you said the second element is optional if you don't pass it it
looks at all tags under document.body.

I'm currently using "The Ultimate getElementsByClassName"

instead of the Prototype version. This version seems to be faster since it
lets you specify the starting node and the type of entity. For example:
var widgets = getElementsByClassName(document, "ol", "tree");
Is there a way to do this within Prototype's version? Looking at the code,
it looks like you may be able to pass the parent node, can anyone verify
this? Is there a benefit to building this same functionality into
Prototype, or is it best to stick with "The Ultimate..." version? I'm at
the beginning of developing a set of reusable GUI components and would like
to minimize dependencies where possible.
Thank you,
