Scripting	[ iLength = ] object.length

Possible Values

iLength

Integer that specifies the number of objects.

The property is read-only with no default value (see Remarks).

Remarks

The window.length property returns the number of frames contained in a window.

Although this property is read-only for most of the objects listed in the Applies To section, it is read/write for the areas collection (image maps), the options collection (select boxes), and the SELECT object.

In all other cases, this property has read-only permission, which means you can retrieve, but cannot change, its current value.
