I have system-generated links which I hide manually. Now I want to remove the link's title attributes sicne those are copied when the user copies surrounding text.
<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript">
var getElementsByClassName = function (className, tag, elm){
if (document.getElementsByClassName) {
getElementsByClassName = function (className, tag, elm) {
elm = elm || document;
var elements = elm.getElementsByClassName(className),
nodeName = (tag)? new RegExp("\\b" + tag + "\\b", "i") : null,
returnElements = [],
current;
for(var i=0, il=elements.length; i<il; i+=1){
current = elements[i];
if(!nodeName || nodeName.test(current.nodeName)) {
returnElements.push(current);
}
}
return returnElements;
};
}
else if (document.evaluate) {
getElementsByClassName = function (className, tag, elm) {
tag = tag || "*";
elm = elm || document;
var classes = className.split(" "),
classesToCheck = "",
xhtmlNamespace = "http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml",
namespaceResolver = (document.documentElement.namespaceURI === xhtmlNamespace)? xhtmlNamespace : null,
returnElements = [],
elements,
node;
for(var j=0, jl=classes.length; j<jl; j+=1){
classesToCheck += "[contains(concat(' ', @class, ' '), ' " + classes[j] + " ')]";
}
try {
elements = document.evaluate(".//" + tag + classesToCheck, elm, namespaceResolver, 0, null);
}
catch (e) {
elements = document.evaluate(".//" + tag + classesToCheck, elm, null, 0, null);
}
while ((node = elements.iterateNext())) {
returnElements.push(node);
}
return returnElements;
};
}
else {
getElementsByClassName = function (className, tag, elm) {
tag = tag || "*";
elm = elm || document;
var classes = className.split(" "),
classesToCheck = [],
elements = (tag === "*" && elm.all)? elm.all : elm.getElementsByTagName(tag),
current,
returnElements = [],
match;
for(var k=0, kl=classes.length; k<kl; k+=1){
classesToCheck.push(new RegExp("(^|\\s)" + classes[k] + "(\\s|$)"));
}
for(var l=0, ll=elements.length; l<ll; l+=1){
current = elements[l];
match = false;
for(var m=0, ml=classesToCheck.length; m<ml; m+=1){
match = classesToCheck[m].test(current.className);
if (!match) {
break;
}
}
if (match) {
returnElements.push(current);
}
}
return returnElements;
};
}
return getElementsByClassName(className, tag, elm);
};
function notitle() {
var mylist=document.getElementsByClassName("notitle");
for (j=0; j<mylist.length; j++) {
var listitems= mylist[j].getElementsByTagName("a");
for (i=0; i<listitems.length; i++) {
listitems[i].removeAttribute("title");
}
}
}
</script>
</head>
<body onLoad="notitle()">
<p>Before hidden link 1: <span class="notitle" style="display: none;">
<a href="#Foo" title="Foo">This link should have no title attribute</a>
</span>After hidden link 1.</p>
<p>Before hidden link 2: <span class="notitle" style="display: none;">
<a href="#Foo" title="Foo">This link should have no title attribute</a>
</span>After hidden link 2.</p>
<p>Before hidden link 3: <span class="notitle" style="display: none;">
<a href="#Foo" title="Foo">This link should have no title attribute</a>
</span>After hidden link 3.</p>
</body>

How should the function look like correctly? I once got it working using this
function notitle() {
var mylist=document.getElementById("notitle");
var listitems= mylist.getElementsByTagName("a");
for (i=0; i<listitems.length; i++) {
listitems[i].removeAttribute("title");
}
}
but that only applied to the first link.
