[Javascript] Form has no properties....

[Hakan M (Backbase)]

If it has to do with nesting, I'd suggest you create pointers to your 
form elements in the top frame. You can do this from the frame that 
contains the form itself easily by adding something like 
top.pointerToMyFormXX = document.myForm; in each frame with a form. When 
you need to access a specific form, just get it from 
top.pointerToMyForm03 (for example).

You probably know this, but forms cannot be nested, and produce 
different errors in different browsers when they are.
