True, you can access an input named "myInput" in a form named "myForm"
by simply writing:

        document.myForm.myInput.value = "Hello!";

BUT... for CSS, it's also quite easy to reference something by name:

        [name="myElement"]
        {
                color: blue;
                font-size: 10pt;
        }
