nope that ain't it either.
 
try
 
// retrieve a form name from an object
function getFormName( obj )
{
 var parent = obj.parentElement;
 if ( parent.tagName == 'FORM')
 {
  var formName = parent.getAttribute('name');
alert(formName); *********************************************************************
  return formName
 }
 else
 {
  getFormName( parent );
 }
}
 
You'll see it works, it just won't return the value

Subject: [cfaussie] [OT] Undefined JS - why?

I can't figure out why the following function keeps returning undefined
 
// retrieve a form name from an object
function getFormName( obj )
{
 var parent = obj.parentElement;
 if ( parent.tagName == 'FORM')
 {
  var formName = parent.getAttribute('name');
  return formName
 }
 else
 {
  getFormName( parent );
 }
}
 
While if I put a alert within the function I can see formName is populated with a correct value
 
Any ideas?
