I have tried a simple thing in Firebug:

[code]
var te = document.getElementsByName(‘subject’);

for(var i in te) {
document.write(te[i]);
}[/code]

to access objects.

And then it simply prints:

[code]
0function item() { [native code] }function namedItem() { [native code] }[/code]

I want to be able to alert the content of the subject line in Gmail.but am unable to get anything to work. Could someone please guide me in this regard?

@ZeroKilledOct 22.2008 — the initial code will print some properties and/or method of a NodeList because that is what getElementByName return, even if there is a single item in the document. however, what you want is the found element. then you would do:
<i>
</i>for(var i in te[0]){
document.write(te[0][i]);
}

that will give you the properties/method of the first found element if any.

@LegendauthorOct 22.2008 — Hi,

Thank You... But the problem is, it doesn't seem to print anything at all... I have tried accessing the element as document.getElementById(':mv") but still with no luck... ?

Success!
