Jim is correct.
Also, if the field is within an iframe/frame then there's a chance
that you may not be able to get to it as easily as
document.getElementsByName() because IIRC document refers to the 'top'
document and the documents (frames) within this are defined separately
as contentDocument.
I strongly suggest doing some research of your own (I've not tested
this *at all*) but I think that this would be a good starting point to
doing what you seek to do:
// select the iframe element using your preferred method
// var iframe = document.getElementById("idOfTheFrame");
// var iframe = document.getElementsByTagName("frame")[0];
//(now that you have the first frame, either get the next nested frame
[[iframe.contentDocument.getElementsByTagName("frame")]] or seek out
the text field that you need)
// Select the Customer ID field
var customerIdField = iframe.contentDocument.getElementById('textMARS');
// Set the field's value
// NOTE: this is setting / storing login credentials in plaintext in
the script is *BAD*
// ((Also the same reasoning that many banks and secure sites eg Paypal use the
// autocomplete="off" attribute to prevent your browser from saving
login credentials))
customerIdField.value = '0123456789';
