Change Event Handler Programatically

[Alan Little]

I want to change the event handler for a form field, using JS code. But
there doesn't seem to be a way to reference it. MyForm.SomeFiel d.onChange
is undefined. Anyone know if there's a way to do this?

document.forms['MyForm'].elements['SomeField'].onchange = function () {...}

The property is "onchange" in all lower case. Also, you have to assign
a function to it, not a string as in HTML.

I prefer using the forms and elements properties, but most browsers will
work without them
