is it possible to create document.all from all elements for use in IE?

document.all is IE-Syntax :)
Yes, very good, I think it's fairly obv I meant NN.
Ok, I didn't mean to be harsh or anything :)
So basically you want to create a tree-object that works the same way 
document.all works in IE. I guess it is possible, but is it worth the 
trouble (it would take very long to do so, since you need to do 
everything the same way that IE does it, including the 
document.all.tags syntax). If you have the possibility, I'd recommend 
to use DOM (as described in various specs), that's faster and more 
reliable than rebuilding the whole stuff.
On the other hand, if you really want to rebuild it, you should 
approach it using recursive object definition and base object that can 
be extended. But it's a lot of work
