Dots in form names creates problems with Javascript Validator function names

Hi!

I have some forms with dots in their names.

The problem is that the JS validation code being generated is not quite  
right

Is there a resolution/work-around to this issue ?

e.g.

FormName: employer.search
JS generated:

=============

     function employer.search_required () {
	...
	...
     }

     function employer.search_email () {
	...
	...
     }

=============


TIA,

Kunal

I believe that a period is not allowed in an identifier. You should pick 
another name for your form.

Hi,

Instead of using for names in that case use.


This should not give any problem := Documet.forms[0].elements[0]

When formname and somename has dots in between.
Accessing elements in this fashion will give problem :=
Documet.formname.getElementsById("somename")

I mean to say access the elements and forms as objects not as names.Do
some minor changes to the validator java scripts formed.

Regards
Amit
