  An element w of a Weyl group W is called elliptic if it has no eigenvalue 1
in the standard reflection representation. We determine the order of any
representative g in a semisimple algebraic group G of an elliptic element w in
the corresponding Weyl group W. In particular if w has order d and G is simple
of type different from C_n or F_4, then g has order d in G.
