FWIW, it's cleaner to simply pass in the object itself rather than its name.
Here's how I'd write it:
function changevalue(Field) {
var oldvalue;
var newvalue;
oldvalue = Field.value;
TAKE ACTION HERE
Field.value = newvalue;
}
....and here's an example of how to pass in the Field object:
<form method="post" onsubmit="return changevalue(this.mytextfield)">
<input type="text" name="mytextfield"><p>
<input type="submit">
</form>
