Well you chould start at the back
something like (not real code!!)
currentelement = documents.forms[0].elements.length;
currentobj= documents.forms[0].elements[arraylen];
while(currentobj["id"] != "AA01" )
{
dosomething(currentobj);
currentelement--;
currentobj= documents.forms[0].elements[currentelement];
}
or something ...!! Haven't done much DOM stuff in JavaScript recently !
