rud-y?

+| for ie, which of the following is it?
+| 
+|    alert( document.all(foo).offsetLeft )
+|    alert( document.all('foo').offsetLeft )
+|    alert( document.all("foo").offsetLeft )
+|    alert( document.all[foo].offsetLeft )
+|    alert( document.all['foo'].offsetLeft )
+|    alert( document.all["foo"].offsetLeft )

Hmmm... well, without knowing what the error actually is...

alert( document.all("foo").offsetLeft )

AND

alert( document.all["foo"].offsetLeft )

should work.

Also, have you thought about document.getElementById()?

Course, doesn't work for NN 4.x browsers. So,

+| for navigator i'm going to have to use something like
+| 
+|    document.images['foo'].x
+| 

yea, for NN 4.x.
