getElementById :: old to compliant

[tester321]

Hi i've been changing some pages with form from the old document.form.val to using document.getElementById('val_ID')

I had to do this cause FF didn't like the old way, and also to make it compliant. I was wondering is there was a JS compliant book or a chart that shows the old versus the new ways? Thanks!

There's nothing wrong with accessing form elements without using an ID, and certainly nothing AFAIK in Firefox that will not allow this. So, it's probably some other error in your code.

Perhaps if you post your code, or a URL to it, and any error messages and details, we could diagnose the problem further?

I'd hate for you to think you need to change all your code when I don't believe that you do.

Hope this helps,

It will allow it, but it throws up a warning when written in this form:

document.form.val
