<div id="myDiv"></div> alert(myDiv); // alerts '[html HTMLDivElement]'

I don't understand how this seems to work. I thought you must specify the div element's id with getElementById();

It only works in some browsers.

Internet Explorer does add all id's to the window object, so that you can access them directly. Most other browsers doesn't.
