Synopsis

                  document.all[i] 
document.all[name]
document.all.tags(tagname)

Description

all[] is a versatile array that contains all the HTML elements in a document. all[] contains the elements in source order, and you can extract them directly from the array if you know their exact numeric position within the array. It is more common, however, to use the all[] array to retrieve elements by the value of their name or id HTML attributes. If more than one element has the specified name, using that name as an index into the all[] returns an array of elements that share the name.

all.tags( ) is passed a tag name and returns an array of HTML elements of the specified type.
