You could also use:

  var tmp = document.forms[0].elements

Don't forget to declare variables, it's a bad idea to let them become
global for no good reason (especially loop counters like i below).

That is invalid HTML: the end tag for input elements is forbidden.

It is a bad idea to name any form control "submit", it shadows the
form's submit method so you can't call it.
