Problem with refering to form elements

[bigS47]

Usually when you want to refer to a form element you do this:

document.formname.elementname.value

however, the way my javascript is made i need to use a variable that stores the name of the element to refer to it. For example:

var a = namefield;
document.formname.a.value;

However, all this does is looks for an element called 'a'.
Any Ideas on what I can do?

Sure:

document.forms[formname].elements[a].value;

Hope this helps,
Dan
