/**
	* Cross-Browser compatible way to retrieve an HTML element by id.
	* 
	* Get rid of all those doucment.getlElementById statments with this function
	* and without putting redundant if statment all through your code.
	*  How to use:
	*	1. Call this method/function, replacing p_idString with an HTML elements id.
	*	2. Checks to make sure the string is not null and that the element exist
	*		ex: getObject("debugWindow");
	* 	3. Also works to test for objects, just pass the object,  if NOT will return false, otherwise the object itself is returned.
	* @param string p_idString id of an html element
	* @return DOM object
	*
