Details

In my initial dom experimentation, I was using the "getElementsByTagName" to retrieve portions of my document. This seemed to work fine in such cases as document.getElementsByTagName("div") and document.getElementsByTagName("body"), but failed miserably when I tried document.getElementsByTagName("*") which looks like it should work fine according to the DOM level 1 spec

Hey tupshin, Can you provide an html document with this testcase in it? That would be awesome! Thanks.
verified that it is resolved, at least in simple cases(haven't tried it on complex documents). test case is at: http://www.tupshin.com/domtests/getElem-wildcard.html
