[Javascript] How to refer to an HTML element's ID attribute

[Peter Brunone]

	Actually, in my example at
http://authors.aspalliance.com/peterbrunone/pleasewait.asp , I refer to
a DIV with only an ID using document.divID.

Cheers,

Peter

I don't believe you're going to have luck with accessing attributes in
NN4.7 either.  I may be wrong though. My suggestion... Tell NN4.7 users
to upgrade. They're quickly going by the wayside now anyway.
