I rushed through it, but appears to work fine.

Description: Basically, this code is a shortcut to tedious for...ifs when searching for elements.

function forElements(a, b) {
for(var i = document.getElementsByTagName("*"), x = 0; x < i.length; x ++)
if(forHierarchy(i[x], a))
b(i[x]);
}
function forHierarchy(a, b) {
for(var x in b)
if(a[x] && b[x].constructor == Object) {
if(!forHierarchy(a[x], b[x]))
return false;
} else if((b[x].constructor == RegExp ? !a[x].match(b[x]) : a[x] != b[x]))
return false;
return true;
}

Example:

forElements({
className: "menubg",
childNodes: {
length: 3,
1: {}
}
}, function(a) {
a.innerHTML = "Hello World";
});

The above will check for any elements with class names of "menubg," childNodes.length of 3, and an existing childNodes[1] and set their innerHTML to "Hello World."
