Maybe the fastest would be this:
var findHtml = ''Find Me!'';
var elements = document.getElementsByTagName(''*'');
var found = [];
for (var i = 0, len = elements.length; i < len; i++) {
if (elements[i].innerHTML == findHtml) {
found.push(elements[i]);
}
}
You could use $$() but in IE it would extend each element and be slow.
You could use $A() but it also may be slow.
Preferably you''d want to specify a tag name instead of
''*''.
- Ken Snyder
// options that use Prototype
// $$()
$$(''*'').findAll(function(element) {
return element.innerHTML == findHtml;
});
// $A()
$A(document.getElementsByTagName(''*'')).findAll(function(element)
{
return element.innerHTML == findHtml;
});
