Rails spinoffs - May 2008 - BUG Firefox 3.0 - getElementsByClassName(...) returning HTMLCollection

Following code snipit:

     var links
=(''Links'').getElementsByClassName(''link'');
     links.each(function(lnk) { .... });

Started failing with "each unknown function".

While I "fixed" this with $(links).each(...) is this the future for
how to interact with these, or is it a bug in prototype 1.6 and FF
3.0 ?

This is not a bug with Prototype.

getElementsByClassName is a native JavaScript method in Firefox 3. You
should use select() or $$() instead.

See the Prototype API for getElementsByClassName:
http://prototypejs.org/api/element/methods/getElementsByClassName

Or a workaround is to explicitely make it an array:
$A(document.getElementsByClassName(...))
