document.getEle mentsByTagName( '*')
should give all elements in the document. Assuming "web page" is an HTML
document and you want the elements in the body then you might only want
to look in the body e.g.
document.body.g etElementsByTag Name('*')

When I do:
alert(document. getElementsByTa gName('*'));
It gives me "Object HTML Collection"
I want to see, all the elements name in my web page.
As I am creating some elements dynamically, i want the name of all the
elements present on my webpage.
And I want to do that in Firefox.
Any solution.

Well, yeah.

var elements = document.getEle mentsByTagName( "*");
for (var i = 0; i < elements.length ; i++) {
alert(elements[i]);
}

Though I would strongly recommend you install firebug, enable it and do:
console.debug(e lements);

then check the console.

Yes, that is a collection.

I want to see, all the elements name in my web page.

What do you call "name" ?
The name, the id, the tag name ?

var c = [];
var d = document.getEle mentsByTagName( '*');
for(var i=0, n = d.length; i<n; i++) c.push(d[i].tag+Name);
alert(c.join()) ;

but that will not give you the hierarchy
(nor wich ones are imbricated nor in what)

As I am creating some elements dynamically, i want the name of all the
elements present on my webpage.
And I want to do that in Firefox.
Any solution.

use the extension 'FireBug'

As you might have gathered from previous replies, you
a) need to do something with the collection
b) it isn’t clear from your description what that would be

If you just want a list of the used element types, you’d want to
avoid duplicates and probably sort the result, e.g.

var list = document.getEle mentsByTagName( '*'),
l = list.length,
result = [],
node;
while (l--) {
node = list[l].nodeName;
if (-1 === result.indexOf( node)) {
result.push(nod e);
}
}
alert(result.so rt());

(Joost’s suggestion applies)
