Why does getElementsByClassName return undefined?

window.onload= myStuff(); function myStuff(){ var spoil =document.getElementsByClassName("spoilers"); for(var i=0; i<spoil.length;i++){ spoil[i].style.color="rgb(255,0,0)"; } }

window.onload should be a function and NOT a function call Change to this: window.onload= myStuff;

It's not possible to answer without watching the DOM content (HTML) According to MDN and what I have tried in playground getElementByClassName always returns [HTMLCollection] not undefined. Even if no elements with specified class are found then also it returns [HTMLCollection]. When no elements are found length of Collection will will be 0. https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Document/getElementsByClassName

It seems that my longer code was messing up because I assigned multiple classes to the same element.
