Specification: http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/multipage/common-dom-interfaces.html Multipage: http://www.whatwg.org/C#htmlallcollection-0 Complete: http://www.whatwg.org/c#htmlallcollection-0 Comment: document.all.item(string) shouldn't do the same thing as HTMLCollection Posted from: 71.184.125.56 by bzbarsky@mit.edu User agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.6; rv:11.0a1) Gecko/20111206 Firefox/11.0a1
