• We initialize the loop with the moveFirst() method.
• We check for the loop termination with the atEnd() method.
• We step forward in the loop with the moveNext() method.
• We print the link's URL with the item() method.

This is the script that implements this loop:

linkEnum = new Enumerator(document.links);
  for (linkEnum.moveFirst(); !linkEnum.atEnd(); linkEnum.moveNext()) {
    alert(linkEnum.item());
  }

Here are the links and the button you need to click to invoke this script (the first four links are from somewhere else in this tip):

0010108 0010107 0010106 0010105
