dom - Javascript Get Child Element by Name -

i'm passing var el function. el contains grabbed element (using getelementbyid) , when console.log el in function following:

the problem comes in when seek grab element within of el using:

el.getelementsbyname('fname');

i error:

uncaught typeerror: object #<htmldivelement> has no method 'getelementsbyname'

the getelementsbyname() api @ document object level. it's not htmlelement method.

you utilize queryselectorall() instead:

var fnames = el.queryselectorall('[name=fname]');

it's not supported in older browsers however.
