get firefox and learn to use the javascript console, the DOM inspector and
the javascript debugger in that order - in this case the DOM inspector
would have been your biggest friend as it would have shown you 'correct'
name for the element (object) whose value you were trying to grab - in general
the DOM inspector is very handy for learning more about the structure
and the content of the DOM.

anyone every noticed that the question as to where a good javascript mailing
can be found comes up every week or so. and nobody ever has an answer.
so where the **** is this 'JAVASCRIPT newsgroup' ??
<wait thats not a php question either - maybe we can ask John Nichel
to ajudicate the validity of the question in light of the 'somehow
related to IBM' criteria [which is in fact the true measure of a relevant
question on this list]> ;-)
