document.all problem firefox

[lynchpin]

hi all, im having trouble getting through all of this if statement block in firefox. the internet explorer code works. here is the firefox version first:

function disbleTextButton(_varButtonId, _varNewText) {
if(browserType() == "Netscape"){
for (i = 0; i < document.updateForm.getElementsByTagName('*').length; i++) {

obj = document.updateForm.elements;
if (obj.tagName == "INPUT") {
if (obj.type == "image") {
if (obj.name == _varButtonId) {
alert(obj.src);
break;
}
}
}
}
}

i want to get to the alert but cant. the IE explorer code works perfectly. here it is.

for (i = 0; i < document.updateForm.all.length; i++) {
obj = document.updateForm.all;
if (obj.tagName == "INPUT") {
if (obj.type == "image") {
if (obj.name == _varButtonId) {
alert(obj.src);
break;
}
}
}
}

any help would be great.

First and foremost suggestion, learn to indent your code. Luckily you're only nested 3 "ifs" deep (4 with the for loop) and you don't have any "elses".

Second, you don't have to use ie and mozilla code. document.getElementsByTagName("input") will work in both browsers, and to my knowledge is fully cross-browser compliant.
