[Javascript] Positioning in IE

[Troy III Ajnej]

Oh flavio, I never knew that, according to you the loop, can be stated 
inside an a HTML or even inside CSS.
REVERT the   Correction: Never use document.all inside a <script> tag
it's silly. How on Earth are you going to build  a collection without 
calling it. Are we geting samarter...
And by the way I was addressing this one to a particular member of the forum 
only.
And as I remember you have joined this forum very recenty, take it easy
