document.all vs. document.getElementById

by

document.all is a proprietary Microsoft extension to the W3C standard.

getElementById() is standard – use that.

However, consider if using a js library like jQuery would come in handy. For example, $("#id") is the jQuery equivalent for getElementById(). Plus, you can use more than just CSS3 selectors.
