No. getElementById only allows a single element to be specified.

The more recent (i.e. less well supported) querySelectorAll method accepts a selector, which can include multiple ids.

var nodeList = document.querySelectorAll('#one, #two, #three, #four, #five, #six');

But you would probably be better off just calling getElementById in a loop (you could store your id values in an array).

Better still would be to adjust the markup. If you have a group of elements, then use some kind of grouping mechanism.

e.g.

 // Make them all members of a class
 var nodeList = document.getElementsByClassName('foo');

 // Put them all in a container
 var nodeList = document.getElementById('someContainer').getElementsByTagName('label');
