Simple IE xpath help

[eggie5]

I know how to edit my page using xpath selectors in firefox, it's just
like this (in the else if). However, I can't find any way to do it in
IE? I just want to find all links with the className=='lef tNavPElement'
and then set them to 'leftNavBltItem ', but I can't find how to do the
xpath stuff in IE. Can somebody please fill in the if statment ie code
for me?

if (window.ActiveX Object)
{

//how do I do the code below for IE???
}
// code for Mozilla, Firefox, Opera, etc.
else if (document.imple mentation &&
document.implem entation.create Document)
{
try
{
var layers =
document.evalua te('//a[@class="leftNav PElement"]', document, null,
XPathResult.ANY _TYPE, null );

var thisLayer = layers.iterateN ext();
while (thisLayer) {

thisLayer.class Name="leftNavBl tItem";
thisLayer = layers.iterateN ext();
}

}
catch(exception )
{
//this try catch is required for the
leftnav to work for some reason....
}
}
else
{
alert('errors in breadcrums.js line: 104');
}

Mozilla and Opera 9 support XPath over HTML DOM documents, IE does not
do that. If you want to find all a elements with a certain className
value then loop over document.getEle mentsByTagName( 'a') and check the
className property in the loop.
