There seems to be a question on how confusing a method would be for developers.
I went and asked 4
people I know that are just learning Javascript for the first time. For two of
them javascript is
their first programing language, the other two already know other languages.
Given this markup:
<p class="foo bar">Para 1</p>
<p class="bar foo">Para 2</p>
<p class="foo baz">Para 3</p>
All expected that getElementsByClassName("foo bar"); would match "foo bar"
exactly in the class
name and only return Para 1.
When asked if they would prefer a comma separated list or an array, there were
mixed feelings.
Three indicated a preference to a comma separated list, the other said he would
expect to pass an
array.
Given this I would suggest not using a space delimited list.
