document.all is propietary to IE... sites should be using
document.getElementById or other standard method to access elements. See:

Ilia, do you have any affiliation with the site, or are you just a visitor?

By request from Chris Casciano [[e-mail]]
I repost my answer to him here:

Sorry, no affiliation with this site.

B.T.W. the domains http://www.ynetcenter.co.il/ and http://www.ynet.co.il are
belong to the biggest Israeli newspaper, and the relevant websites are quite big
and content-rich.
So It looks, You will meet a professional at their webmaster position.

Unfortunately, the Israeli Internet is nearly 100% IE-based because it was the
only browser with at least a half-decent Hebrew support for years. 
Now Mozilla has a good Hebrew support, but the "world is IE only" mindset is
still here.

Best regards
	Ilia.
