access elements inside <div> tag

[Kenneth]

This is probably very simple question but how do you access elements
inside the <div> tag?

I need to access the value of a textfield inside a <div> tag.

Thanks.

Whether your text field is inside a <div> tag or not is probably not
relevant to how you access it.

If the text field is in a form, you can get access to it from the
forms collection. If it's not in a form, give it an ID and use
getElementById. A quick search of this news group on:

"document.f orms[" or "document.getEl ementById"

will turn up hundreds of examples.

You could also use getElementsByTa gName, but I suspect one of the
above methods will be better.
