Hi Stu:
This is not really an answer to your question, but just a thought: Why are you
reluctant to hardcode the name of the form in? My feeling is jsps are kind of
"lightweight" elements so making them more "generalised" is not really that
important..? I look at jsps as easily modified/modifiable and kind of
self-contained.. unless you envision putting your javascript in some "common"
place accessible to lots of jsps, maybe..?
My $0.02..:)
Regards,
Geeta

if you have 1 and only one form on the page you can do
document.all.fieldname

alert(document.forms[0].getElementsByTagName("input")[0].name);
Will display the the name of the the first input field type in the first
form on the page.
var inputTags = document.forms[1].getElementsByTagName("input");
for (i = 0; i < inputTags.length; i++);
alert(inputTags[i].name);
Will display all the names of the input fields one at a time form the second
form on the page.
This is cross browser compliant.
document.all is only valid in the IE browser DOM
