70844 - getElementById crashes when used "renamed"

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 63930

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

Description

[Jano]

var dG = document.getElementById;

function setLeft(id,nL) {
	if (dG) dG(id).style.left = nL + "px";
}

dG(id) should do the same as docuement.getElementById(id), but this code 
crashes under mozilla0.8
