What, exactly, do you mean by "all the objects of a form"?
If you only want to access the actual form controls (input, select,
textarea elements), then what you do is close to correct:
for (var i=0;i<document.forms[0].elements.length; i++) {
dosomethingwith(document.forms[0].elements[i]);
}
Use square brackets! Both forms and elements are collections, not
functions.

This makes a lot of assumptions.
document.forms is a collection. It has a method called "item" that you can use to access the parts of the collection, or you can use square bracket notation.
document.forms.item(0) or document.forms[0]
However, IE shares the same object for both the forms collection and the
item function ("document.forms == document.forms.item" is true), so you
can get away with writing "document.forms(0)". Most other browsers wouldn't
accept that.
Likewise, in IE, for a form,
form == form.elements and form == form.elements.item

Huh?
The above code iterates through all form controls, and nothing else.
The div's have no influence on this at all.

Div's make no difference (unless you are using Netscape 4 and
positioned divs, which it interprets as layers and therefore separate
documents).
