document.getElementsByTagName("*") Or document.all

Question

document.getElementsByTagName("*") works for IE/Firefox/Opera, But doesn't work for Chrome and Safari.

document.all works for IE/Chrom/Safari, But doesn't work for Firefox.

How can I deal with it?

Answer 1

Try like this:

if (document.all !== undefined)
{
   allElements = document.all;
}
else
{
   allElements = document.getElementsByTagName("*");
}

Or shorter version

allElements = document.all ? document.all : document.getElementsByTagName("*");
