This is what I thought. However, when I click on the link in the following
HTML page, I get the error "'objForm.elements' is not an object":

<html>
<head>
<title>Test</title>
<script>
var objForm = document.forms[0];
var intValue;
intValue = 0;
function test() {
	objForm.elements[0].value = intValue;
	intValue++;
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<a href="javascript:test()">Click</a>
<form>
<input type="text">
</form>
</body>
</html>

Puzzled...
