[thelist] IE & JS

[VOLKAN ÖZÇELİK]

or something like:

window.onload=function(){
    document.getElementsByTagName("form")[0].onsubmit=form_submit;
    //use document.forms[0] for backwards compatibility.
};

function form_submit(evt){
    var theForm = new EventObject(evt).getSource();
    /*EventObject is a hand-made cross-browser utility. */

    theForm.myFieldName ...
}

Admit, I may be an unobtrusion and oo crack.

Cheers,
Volkan.
