<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp;document.all.getElementByT<wbr />agName(&quot;bo<wbr />dy&quot;)[0] <br />
will not work as a way of accessing the body element. It should be<br />
&nbsp; document.getElementsByTagN<wbr />ame('BODY'<wbr />)[0] &nbsp; <br />
so &quot;document.&quot; instead of &quot;document.all&quot; and there should be a (plural) &quot;s&quot; - &quot;Elements&quot;...<br />

@hielo

   document.all.getElementByTagName("body")[0]
will not work as a way of accessing the body element. It should be
  document.getElementsByTagName('BODY')[0]  
so "document." instead of "document.all" and there should be a (plural) "s" - "Elements"...

Thank you hielo and TName!<br />

TName,<br />
I have just tried your code and it worked. However, if I delete the first line<br />
&lt;!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC &quot;-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN&quot; &quot;<a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd" rel="ugc">http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd</a>&quot;&gt;<br />
it would not work anymore!!! Very strange!!!<br />

That's due to the fact that IE will behave differently in this respect if in strict vs. quirks mode. Have a look e.g. here:<br />

Hi,<br />
<br />
I must misunderstand something. I thought the following code will move the elements in body by 1000 and will show the number 1000:<br />
document.body.scrollLeft=1<wbr />000; &nbsp; //Why nothing happened with this<br />
alert(document.body.scroll<wbr />Left; &nbsp; &nbsp; //Why this is zero?
</div>

Hi,

I must misunderstand something. I thought the following code will move the elements in body by 1000 and will show the number 1000:
document.body.scrollLeft=1000;   //Why nothing happened with this
alert(document.body.scrollLeft;     //Why this is zero?

How to use scrollLeft?

JavaScript is a dynamic, object-based language commonly used for client-side scripting in web browsers. Recently, server side JavaScript frameworks have also emerged. JavaScript runs on nearly every operating system and  in almost every mainstream web browser.
