Answer 2

A:

try this ?

<script type="text/javascript">
    x=document.getElementsByTagName('form');

    for(i=0;i<x.length;i++)
    {
        document.write(x.item(i).attributes['name'].name);
        document.write(" = ");
        document.write(x.item(i).attributes['name'].value);
        document.write("<br />");
    }

</script>

Works for me ^^

(just to be precise this code will output you all your form namessomewhere in your document depending on when you call the script ^^ for this reason and as José does you'd better use alert than doc.write ...)

Answer 3

A:

if you are trying to access the element by name in a form you can simply use this

<html>
<head>
<script>
alert(f1.in1);  // formName.elementName
</script>
</head>
<body>
<form id='f1' name='f1'>
<input id='in1' name='in1' value='Hello'>
</form>
</body
</html>

I don't think he tries to get an element by it's name but to get the name of the element (which is odd but most awesome discoveries came from odd ideas ;p )

Answer 4

A:

If you are after the name of the form, this works (although it seems a bit redundant).

document.NordstromListing.name

If you are after the value of one of the form fields, you can do it like this:

document.NordstromListing.msrp.value
