While 'form.elements' is not obsolete, 'form.elements.something' (to mean 'form.elements.namedItem("something")') is. Actually, it is some news to me that such syntax is supported; I was only aware of the syntax 'form.something' (obsolete, but convenient) and 'form.elements("something")'. That 'form.length' mirrors 'form.elements.length', while still supported, is just ridiculous; I missed that as well. Everything you say is true, except that the merrie olde syntaxe is not that ambiguous as you present it. Indeed, I cannot see any ambiguity at all. I am not using MSDN as the source of information what the Web should look like; I am using it to understand existing code that the standard does not cover, e.g. 'form.control' or 'new Image()' (incidentally, this is 'Image.Create()' in Visual Basic Scripting Edition). Thanks for pointing that out. Chris
