    Reference an object

    Hi

    Can anyone help me with something that is confusing me...

    I know that in javascript you can reference a HTML object by using:

    document.all['blah'] etc

    but it i want to dynamically reference the object for example

    var strValue = 'divInfo';

    document.all[strValue]

    I am unable to do this

    Can anyone suggest why this might be the case?

    Thanks in advance

    Sarah

    It should work. Are you sure the element exists?

    But document.all is IE-only!
    document.getElementById(<id>) is better.
    All the buzzt
