Dave has added to the library of new functions which are used for retrieving chunks of code in a given page using Javascript and the Document Object Model's structure. One could use these functions as key parts of scripts that require earmarking of various parts of a HTML page for any reason. I'm hardly even a hack at javascript, but by way of explanation: when I made the font-resize tool that used to be part of this site, I used the DOM selection concept (albeit without these handy functions) to select appropriate text to be earmarked for resizing.
So to review, here are the javascript functions that are now available to us:

• getElementByClassName
• getElementBySelector
• getElementsByAttribute
• getNodesByType
