That's not true at all. You don't need id defined.
The following code is completely functional.
<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript">
function show_now() {
var my_time = new Date();
document.myForm.myDate.value = my_time;
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<form name="myForm">
<input name="myDate" type="text" size="10" />
<input type=button value="Show Time" onclick="show_now();">
</form>
</body>
</html>
