In the same on change event that causes the page to go from all properties to an individual property I have it assign the value of a hidden form field to the value of the infants dropdown...yet when the page loads, there are no form fields...

JS will traverse your page in the usual way. The fact that one form is in a different file than another form doesn't matter to JS since by the time it gets to the client browser it's all "one page" as it were. How are you trying to get JS to target the forms now? What code is failing?
