I have a span like this:

<span id="selectedTests" class="emrFG">  
  <span id="lblSelectedTests" class="emrHDR" style="top:3;left:6;font-size:8pt;">Selections</span>  
  <span class="emrHDR" style="top:3;left:190;font-size:8pt;">Tests</span>  
  <div id="recordSet" style="top:19;height:112;width:444;"></div>
</span>

The span shows some rows of data and I want to call those rows individually by using document.all method.
How would I do that?

• @user: Have a look at How do I format my code blocks?. – Marcel Korpel Commented Jun 8, 2010 at 22:47
• Your CSS (within style attributes) is malformed: you have to use a unit identifier (e.g., px, em, etc.) when defining top, left, height and width. Your HTML is malformed, too: <span> elements can only contain inline elements. <div> is a block-level element.

document.all is very old, see my answer to another question. Use document.getElementById instead.

Example:

var theElement = document.getElementById("lblSelectedTests");
