Thank you for the patch !
I was not aware that '-' was allowed in class names in javascript, as it's not allowed in PHP which is my primary language - for programming, that is.
Some CSS-related javascript utility functions
Hi folks. Nothing very bright or revolutionary, but here is a tiny library to play with CSS and javascript. More elaborate tricks to come. Hope it helps.
- bool hasClass(DOM obj, string cName)
- bool hasClasses(DOM obj, array classes)
- bool addClass(DOM obj, string cName)
- bool removeClass(DOM obj, string cName)
- bool swapClasses(DOM obj, string class1, string class2)
- bool switchClass(DOM obj, string to, string from)
- array getElementsByClassName(string className, [DOM container],[string tag])

The regexp "'\\b'+cName+'\\b'" is not right - use "'(\\s|^)'+cName+'(\\s|$)'" instead.
Otherwise you will not be able to use the '-' char in any class name. I made this same mistake myself...
