Part of the value of Tapestry is that it assigns ids. The id of the form will *likely* be the same as the component id of the Form. However, inside loops (or when using Tapestry to develop portals) the id will vary from what you specify (to ensure uniqueness). That's why Tapestry has the JavaScript templates (the .script files) to create JavaScript customized to the ids allocated by Tapestry for forms and form fields.
