256640 - Make document.all act as a collection (document.getElementsByTagName("*"))

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Core :: DOM: Core & HTML, defect)

Description

[Johnny Stenback (:jst)]

IE lets developers do document.all[2] to access the second element in the
document. We can do the same, and doing that would fix yet a few more
compatibility problems... Patch coming up.

Make document.all a collection too

Fix the s/chaper/cheaper/typo, and tighten up the CallToGetPropMapper logic to
check whether the class of its |obj| param is sHTMLDocumentAllClass, and
r+sr=me.

Pre-approving for aviary and 1.7.3 based on bclary's thumbs-up.

Thanks, good catch. I had a typo in my checkin command that I missed, so it
hadn't gone in yet. Duh

Fixed on the aviary branch now.
