[thelist] Problem accessing for values with []

[Jonathan Dillon]

Howdy all:

Thanks for the help with the cert. ;-)

I'm on to my second odd problem!  I've got a javascript file that needs to
make reference to the following form:
document.myform.form[fieldname].value

But:
alert('val: ' + document.main.form[journal].value);

...reveals that this will not work.  How in the name of flying beans do I
access that value?  I can't change the value (ancient enteprise system), so
I'm kind of lost on this one.

Is there some way to escape it or something?

Thanks much!

Jonathan
