This was an incomplete utterance on my part. I meant to point out further
that document.getElementById is a method, and as such is called with
parentheses:

document.getElementById("myElement").style.display = "none"



So suppose you do something like this:

document.all = document.all || document.getElementById


What does the non-doc.all browser do when it sees this?

document.all["myElement"].style.display = "none"
