First thing which caught my eye is: <div class="thin"> does not define the name of the div element, it defines its CSS style class. Instead, use the attribute name (or both), for example: <div class="thin" name="thin">.

The function "GetElementsByTagName" will get elements by tag name, not by class or ID. You happen to be looking for elements with the tag name "div", so that's what you'd want to pass to that function. You'd then want to check the "class" attribute (you already know how to do that, based on what I see in your code) to see if it equals "thin".
