getElementsByClassName error received in IE

Question

Do we have getElementsByClassName in javascript?

I am receiving an error below in IE only, not in any other browser:

Object doesn't support property or method 'getElementsByClassName'

So I am assuming it does not suppose getElementByClassName in IE. My question is then what should be an equivalent to use in stead of this in example below:

var numb = document.getElementsByClassName('num_questions');

IE < 9 does not have getElementsByClassName support.

Since you are using jQuery you can achieve the same by $('.num_questions')
