That should be easy enough...
<script>
function getFormName(obj) {
var parent = obj.parentElement;
if (parent.tagName == 'FORM') {
alert(parent.getAttribute('name'));
}
else {
getFormName(parent);
}
}
</script>
<form action="index.cfm" method="post" name="foo">
<div>
<span>
<a href="#" onclick="getFormName(this)">testit</a>
</span>
</div>
</form>
