That is not just IE, it is in the W3C DOM Core specification.

It is the way to go, unless you need to support ancient browsers.
What if I want to use layers ? document.layers ?????????

Then you need to use Netscape 4 or earlier.

These are the only browsers to support the proprietary Netscape tag
<layer>, and the collection "document.layers" [1].

Some people still use the word "layer" about absolutely positioned
div elements. I don't recommend that, since it can be confuzed with
real <layer>-tag layers.

[1] OmniWeb is reported to have a property called document.layers, but
it doesn't work.
