just curious what your reasoning for this is.
in my experience, accessing objects in the DOM via their index in a
collection is more problematic than via their name. move things around in
the document (as is quite common in a dynamic site) and the indexes are
likely to change, but the names always stay the same. maybe a more solid
solution would be to refer to them via their names, but within the
collection. for example:
instead of like this:
document.name_of_form
you'd do it via the forms collection:
document.forms['name_of_form']
curious,
