I was just wondering how the result array of the getElementsByTagName function will be sorted. Will it be elements of the array be sorted in the order in which they appear in the document or is it completely random? And how does it behave in different browsers?

Can anyone shed more lights on this or provide me some pointers?

Self Note (by my evil twin): Sudar, you have become lazier these days. If you are not getting a response take the pain to test it across different browses by yourself!!

Well I am going to flirt with an Internet Meme which is getting spread around. It all started when Emil wrote Levels of CSS knowledge. This inspired Roger to write Levels of HTML knowledge and that got followed by Levels of Javascript knowledge, the levels of Accessibility knowledge etc.

Instead of leaving a comment on each blog separately I decided to write about my level of knowledge here. So here it goes

• Emil’s Levels of CSS knowledge - between level 4 to level 5
• Roger’s Levels of HTML Knowledge - Level 5
• Dean’s Levels of Javascript Knowledge - between Level 4 to level 5
• Joe’s Levels of Accessibility Knowledge - Level 4

Apart from letting you know where you are standing, these posts are really fun to read. So what is your Level of web Knowledge?
