Accessing form Fields












Every form field is contained in the form's elements collection.

You can access the various fields in the collection by using their name attributes or their positions in the collection:








var firstField = oForm.elements[0];    //get the first form field
var myTextbox = oForm.elements["textbox1"];//get the field with the name "textbox1"



Accessing an element by its name: every form field becomes a property of the form itself and can be accessed directly by using its name








var myTextbox1 = oForm.textbox1; //get the field with the name "textbox1"



If the name has a space in it, use bracket notation instead:








var myTextbox = oForm["text box 1"]//get the field with the name "text box 1"
