Short example of how an element of a page body, such as a div with an id, cannot be accessed directly by a javascript script in FireFox, but works in IE, Safari, Chrome, both on Mac and Windows.
(GetElementbyId works OK in all, but is this necessary?

2.
3.
Actual Results:
Error: InsertHere is not defined in Error Console. No text in document window
Expected Results:
Show show "This element is accessible.", having inserted the message via script.
function showMsg () {
InsertHere.innerHTML = "This element is accessible.";
}
<body onload="showMsg()">
<div id="InsertHere">

Load this in Firefox, then any other browser. Firefox 4.0.1 on both Mac and Windows tested, both 'bad'; Safari, IE, Google Chrome, all 'good'.

I did not see any duplicate of this bug, but there were many bug reports with "is not defined" that may be related. This seems to me to be the simplest possible case.

Your javascript is invalid. It should be:
document.getElementById("InsertHere").innerHTML

FWIW, this would work in quirks mode, but not in standards mode. We don't intend to implement support in standards mode.

Actually, this is different from bug 602381. This bug is about bareword |foo| not resolving to an element with id="foo" in standards mode. That bug is about |window.foo| not resolving to an element with id="foo" in quirks mode.
They're very separate issue. We may well fix bug 602381 while not changing the standards mode behavior. We might well change the standards mode behavior while keeping the bareword vs fully qualified distinction.
