Re: Using javascript to access nested form items

[Frank W. Zammetti]

That's what I thought, but I wasn't certain so I didn't say it.  Both IE 
and Firefox handled it, at least to the extent that the fields of the 
inner form weren't lost or hidden or anything.  I suppose that's a 
*form* of support :)

HTML doesn't support nested forms.  In other words,
   <form...>
      <form...>
         <input...>
      </form>
   </form>
is invalid HTML.  The browsers likely just ignore the second FORM tag 
and treat it as one big form.  But there no guarantees of that behavior.

inspector in Firefox, it is true there too.  Seems "nested forms" is a 
bit of a misnomer... seems the elements of the second form show up in 
the object tree of the first.
