[Javascript] Creating form object properties on the fly

[Chris Tifer]

Well, I'm a little confused by your question, but one thing stands out to
me.

If your onSubmit is like this:

onSubmit="this.FirstName="test"", then that would obviously error out since
you can't have the "" nested inside of another "".

What if you tried something like:

onSubmit="this.FirstName='test'"

Also, wouldn't this require creating your own objects as it will tell you
that property doesn't exist?
