javascript regx in getelementbyid ??

mayur

i have a span which contains as in hidden field

<span name="pc_fields" id="profit_center<%=pc.id%>_span">
<%= hidden_field_tag "profit_centers[#{pc.id}]", pc.send(percent_field) %>
<%= hidden_field_tag "profit_centers_#{pc.id}_locked", 1 %>
</span>

and this span is in a table row so there will be more than one span

now i have in javascript i have like
var all_pcs = document.getElementsByName('pc_fields') this wont work in IE .

so i want to write some thing like this
var all_pcs = document.getElementByid('profit_center'*'_span').

thanks in advance for you help.

you haven't explained what you're trying to do with the <span> elements

document.getElementsByName example at W3Schools.com works for me in IE8 and in IE8 compatibility view.

once i get the elements i can loop through them and do lot of things. i am sure we can use regex or some thing to do this, but not sure how yet . thanks for your replay.
