The form property of an object is its parental form, therefore:

         <input onclick="DoSomething(this)" ...>

         function DoSomething(argControl)
         {
                 // get the control's containing form
                 var oForm = argControl.form;
         }
or:
         <input onclick="DoSomething(this.form)" ...>

         function DoSomething(argForm)
         {
                 // argForm is the containing form
         }
