[javascript] DOM incompatibility between FF2 and FF3

[Zenigata]

Binary package hint: firefox-3.0

Changing the DOM in FF3 cause a lot of code rewriting, for example that code :

this.scroll.up = this.base.getElementsByClassName("scrollup").reduce();

used to be corect in FF2, but in FF3 you have to cast the result of getElementsByClassName("scrollup") to array.

It would be nice to have all the functions of Array existing on the object returned by this in FF3.

in FF3 the working code is

this.scroll.up = Array.from(this.base.getElementsByClassName("scrollup")).reduce()

So, maybe it is a feature, but if so, I'd like to know the interest of doing this.

Regards
