I have the following code to get an element by it's attribute:

document.getElementsByAttribute(xlink:href,id);

I get this error:

Uncaught TypeError: document.getElementsByAttribute is not a function

I don't understand what's going wrong, is it not a standard chrome function?

Note that this method is only available on XUL elements; it is not part of the W3C DOM.

Use this:

document.querySelectorAll([xlink|href='+id+']);
