Hi, http://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Using_Web_Standards_in_your_Web_Pages states:
"The best and most supported practice for getting scriptable access to an element in an HTML page is to use document.getElementById(id). " A colleague of mine reckons such access will be much slower than accessing the element directly. So which is faster? document.forms.myform.elements.field1 or document.getElementById(field1) Cheers, Simon ******************************************************************* List Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm Unsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfm Help: [EMAIL PROTECTED] *******************************************************************
