all collection
Represents a collection of all elements contained by an element or the entire document.
The elements in the collection are sorted in source code order.
The all collection is not supported by Firefox.
For a cross-browser solution, to get elements by name or id, use the getElementsByName and getElementById methods, to get all child elements of an element, use the childNodes collection.
