<body onload="alert(d ocument.forms['myForm'].test[1].value);">
<form name="myForm">
<input type="text" name="test" value="1">
<input type="text" name="test" value="2">
</form>

Works fine in both Netscape 4.78 and Mozilla 1.5a.

As does document.myForm .test[1].value; and
document.forms['myForm'].elements['test'][1].value.

What doesn't work is: alert(myForm.te st[1].value); since Netscape doesn't
not maintain a list of global references to forms and form elements in the
document like IE does.
