document.all is a legacy Microsoft extension Browser Compatibility Check

Description

document.all is a Microsoft extension, and should be replaced by the W3C DOM method document.getElementById.

Help

document.all was only needed to support IE4. Modern browsers implement it only for backwards compatibility and it is deprecated, so use standard DOM methods like document.getElementById instead.
