Actually, the first one in Bobby's list (document.forms[0].myfield.value) is the most compatible; it works in Netscape 2, while document.formname.myfield.value will not, if I recall correctly. Support for addressing forms (and elements) using array notation was introduced with the first version of JavaScript.
