Fix for using EVAL command in JS

[Eric]

I have js that works ok in IE but Firefox returns the error message "Document.f orms is not a function" on ht eline that begins with the "For" operator.

Ya, I'm a real nube.. is it obvious?

fms='document.forms(tempFormName)'
for (i=0; i<eval(fms+'.length'); i++)

Thanks in advance!!

that’s correct, there is no forms() method in the document object (that is JScript only). but why should you have more than one form with the same name?

in standard DOM you access forms by:

// by index number (in document order)
document.forms[form_number]
// by known name
document.form_name
// by unknown name
document[form_name]

Hi Dormilich,
Thanks for responding so quickly. I was given a task to take a look at some web pages and I find myself asking the same question you did. "Why". I think I may just pass this project onto someone more experienced.

Thank you

Hey, strange example, first rule: eval is evil :).
