elementsNN 2 IE 3 DOM 1  

  

A collection of all elements contained within a form. Collection members are sorted in source code order. Because each form element includes a type property (starting with Navigator 3 and Internet Explorer 4), scripts can loop through all elements in search of elements of a specific type (e.g., all checkbox elements).
