Yes, sounds like a job for computerization. :)

The precise syntax you can figure out, but you have two options I 
believe. One is to use something like:

document.getElementById("q"+i)

to access the ith q question where i is your loop variable. Another 
option is to use something like:

theform.elements["q"+i]

which would probably be more efficient and wouldn't have the pitfalls of 
ids not matching names. I myself would recommend this method.

That would work, but I wouldn't recommend it. Using eval() for such a 
purpose is far from good programming practice.
