Groping around in the DOM

[Steve Swift]

I have a page which contains a form. The forms name never changes (it's
called "SignOn"). I'd like to give the focus to the second element in
the form, a text INPUT field (as is the first). The name on these first
two elements changes regularly, so I'd like to set the focus without
coding the name, either by discovering the name of the element, or by
referring to the control some other way.

Is this possible?

I think this will do the trick:
document.getEle mentById("for") .getElementsByT agName("input")[0] for
the 1st
document.getEle mentById("for") .getElementsByT agName("input")[1] for
the 2nd

document.forms["SignOn"].elements[1].focus();
