Retrieves a collection of all A elements that have a NAME= and/or ID= attribute. Elements in this collection are in HTML source order.
object.anchors(index)
Parameter Description object The document object. (index) Optional. An integer or a string specifying the index value of the element to retrieve. Integer indexes are zero-based, meaning the first element in the collection has index 0. A string index is valid only if the string is a name or identifier of at least one element in the document.
This collection is indexed first by name, then by identifier. If duplicate names are found, a collection of those named items is returned. Collections of duplicate names must subsequently be referenced by ordinal position.
The following example displays the NAME= attribute of the third anchor defined in the document.
alert(document.anchors(2).name);
