Below is some sample code.
<body>
<div id=wrapper class=access>
<form id=test>
<input id=password></input>
<input type=submit></input>
</form>
</div>
<script>
console.log(password);
alert(wrapper.className);
</script>
</body>
The console log returns the DOM element with id password. The alert is alert.
It works in normal code as well, e.g. var x = wrapper.className;
Surely this is not right? What is the point of document.getElementById, $('#password') or goog.dom.getElement if it just works like this? Are these functions just for legacy now?
It works in Firefox, Chrome and Safari, incidentally.
