Can anyone help me with a Javascript question, please? Why does the following code display only message boxes with the word "null" in them? And I think there are not enough of them either.

<html>
<head>
    <script type="text/javascript">
        function showElementClasses(node)  {
            var els = node.getElementsByTagName("*");
            for(var i=0,j=els.length; i<j; i++)
                alert(els[i].getAttribute("class"));
                alert("Class: " + els[i].className);
        }

        showElementClasses(document);
    </script>
</head>
<body class="bla">
    <div class="myclass" style="width: 500; height: 400" id="map"></div>
</body>
</html>
