<DIV><SPAN class=489071518-22082003><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff
size=2> The major advantage I can see, aside from more closely
following the IE object model, is that if you happen to have a variable or other
object named "lala", you'll still end up with the right reference by using
document.all.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> Hi,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I work with IE; I have an HTML
object:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><input id="lala"/></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>What is the difference between referencing it in
js code with: </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>var myVal =
document.all['lala'].value;</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>or just </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>var myVal = lala.value;</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Thanks,</FONT></DIV>
