Hari,
Form name won't work, or won't be reliable, since two forms have the same
name (via Struts). You MUST use the index.
Caroline (or Jen?)
All I can say is "Wow!" document.getElementById() only works in IE, not
FF. Your response is an arduous elaboration of my document.forms[0] and
document.forms[1], which is the correct solution.
If I don't completely understand the problem I typically ask for more
information or I don't respond. Any attempt to solve the problem, without
first knowing what it is, leads to confusion on the part of the poster.

1. Each element in a document must have a unique id.
This element is then accessed in script using
document.getElementById().
e.g. <p id="myP">...</p> -->
document.getElementById("myP")
If more than one element has the same id and you try
to use that id
with document.getElementById(), the method doesn't
know which element
you're talking about, and an error results.
2. <form name="findUsers"> <-->
document.forms["findUsers"] or
document.findUsers
<form id="findUsers"> <-->
document.getElementById("findUsers")
3. Only form elements have a value attribute.
Only form elements can pass a value with a form when
the form is submitted.
<a> is not a form element.
Example:
<form name="myForm">
<input name="myField" type="text" value="something">
<input name="myOtherField" type="text"
value="something-else">
<input name="mySubmit" type="submit" value="Click to
Submit">
</form>
Assuming that this is the first or only form in the
page:
The form can be referenced as:
document.forms[0]
document.getElementsByTagName("form")[0]
document.forms["myForm"]
document.forms.myForm
document.myForm
document.getElementsByName("myForm")[0]
All but the first two of these require that the form
have a name
attribute whose value is "myForm". An id attribute
will not work for this.
Now, let's assume that we set a variable theForm equal
to one of these
references to the form whose name (not id) is
"myForm". The first input
in this form can then be referenced as any of the
following:
theForm.elements[0]
theForm.getElementsByTagName("input")[0]
theForm.elements["myField"]
theForm.elements.myField
theForm.myField
theForm.getElementsByName("myField")[0]
All but the first two of these require the the input
have the name (not
id) "myField". Similarly, the second input can be
accessed as any of the
following:
theForm.elements[1]
theForm.getElementsByTagName("input")[1]
theForm.elements["myOtherField"]
theForm.elements.myOtherField
theForm.myOtherField
theForm.getElementsByName("myOtherField")[0]
All but the first two of these require the the input
have the name (not
id) "myOtherField".
You can give a form or form element element an id
attribute and then
access it using document.getElementById() as well as
getElementsByTagName(). However, you cannot use the id
attribute value
for forms and element array references.
Suppose you have this:
<form id="myForm">
<!-- ...form elements... -->
</form>
Then none of these references will work for the form:
document.forms["myForm"]
document.forms.myForm
document.myForm
In each case, you'll get an error saying that the
object reference is
null, undefined, or isn't an object. The exact wording
of the message
depends on which browser you're using, but they all
mean the same thing:
"I've no idea what you're talking about".
This appears to be the root of your problem.
The short version: Give name attributes to all your
form and form
element tags. You should do this in any case, since
serverside scripts
don't read id's. You needn't bother with an id
attribute for a form or
form element unless you want to (a) access it in a
script by means of
document.getElementById() or (b) you want to style it
using a CSS id
selector (e.g. form#myForm or #myForm).
