Instead of Document.all, what can I use?

Question

I'm calling a javascript for my Gridview, but it seems like document.all does not work in Chrome/Firefox.

What can I replace this with? Thank you

<script type="text/javascript">
    GridViewHelper.Init(document.all.GridView1, 100, 0);
</script>

looks like a dupe http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2408424/document-all-vs-document-getelementbyid or this one http://stackoverflow.com/questions/10350142/why-is-document-all-falsy — David Chase, Mar 28 '13 at 16:26
`document.all` hasn't been a good choice since IE 4 stopped being a common install. You need to find some more up to date learning resources. — Quentin, Mar 28 '13 at 16:28

document.getElementById is the usual choice (the element needs an id).

There are plenty of other options though, including the new, shiny and less well supported document.querySelector.
