i have a bookmarklet for IE5+ that does exactly this: 
http://www.sam-i-am.com/work/bookmarklets/dev_debugging.html
(scroll down to View DOM / View DOM Fragment)

or just simply alert(document.documentElement.outerHTML);

to your question: is it possible you have another on the page which has
the same ID as the form? That might explain why no "name" property is
available.
