Hi Terry,
I also avoid putting ids onto inputs since they can be accessed through
the forms and elements collections:
document.forms['FormName'].elements['InputName'];
or
document.FormName.elements['InputName'];
In fact, I use a custom function (below) as shorthand:
SF('FormName','InputName');

// SmartForm Function
// returns form object or element object from form name, element name

// Example Usage:
// Field(0,'myelement') returns form 0 element "myelement"
// Field('myform','myelement') returns form "myform" element "myelement"
// Field(0) returns form form 0
// Field('myform') returns form "myform" assuming there is no element
named "myform"
// Field('myelement') returns form "myelement" assuming there is no form
named "myelement"
function SF(formName,elName) {
if( elName && document.forms[formName] &&
document.forms[formName].elements ) {
return document.forms[formName].elements[elName];
} else {
return document.forms[formName];
}
}
