Potential Issues of using document.all javascript

[Former Member]

Hey everyone.

I'm doing some remediation evaluation work for a customer and have run across a few of their pages where they use document.all in their javascript, which really has no use since IE4.

The pages fine in IE6, which what they use, and work fine on IE8, however Firefox pukes.

So before recommending a path I was looking some community feedback, I personally think it should be removed for future browser compatibility, but other than Firefox puking, which they have no plans to go to, what kind of performance issues could they run into?

Don't think they have any problems for now, or as long as Microsoft is keeping it's future browsers backwards compatible. Just think it is bad coding standard not using the recommended W3C standards for cross browser compatability.
