Summary: js error - field named target in form
Initial Comment:
Can't have a form with a field in it called target because
in the function submitForm (defer_tools.js) it blows up.
I've attached a search file that I wrote to access wotsit's
format website. Is there a way to differentiate between
the form target and a field in a form called target?

cool... I've changed this in CVS... those that are using 5.5, let
me know if this works.

in IE 5.5 form.attributes["target"].nodeValue works - I
don't have IE 6 to test on :)

6.0. Unfortunately, I don't have access to 5.5 on any
systems.

Actually that fix by specifying attributes seems NOT to work
for me. I'm using IE 5.5 and it's having a problem trying to set
the value (ie: form.attributes["target"].value = '_blank')
What version did you test it on?

I've changed in a fix to defer_tools.js for this. In 'submitForm'
I changed form.target to form.attributes["target"].value. It
seems to work now with the wotsit.xml search.

Yes I can reference it via string but the problem is that
form.target is used in submitForm (defer_tools.js) and that
blows up because form.target is already defined in the form
as a hidden field. I guess maybe the problem is javascript
because form.target is a special case defining what window
to display things in. This collides with a field named target.
Is there a way in javascript to specify the non-field form.target
in submitForm function? If so, this would fix the problem.
Otherwise it is impossible to search sites with a field name
of "target".

Look at the imdb.xml for an example - they use a field
called "for" which is also a reserved word. The syntax to
get it to work is document.imdbf["for"].value = q;
For yours, it would be
document.wotsitsearch["target].value = q;
(I'm not sure where the args.q came from - maybe that was
your problem...)

Somehow the javascript got stripped out of the attachment:
