[Javascript] Change a form object

[Chris Basken]

there's no simple way to do this.  you can show/hide form elements inside
absolute-blocks (divs, layers, etc), but in NS, each layer is its own
document object, which will require its own form.  you can consolidate
multiple forms on a single page into one before submitting (using a "master"
form with hidden fields), but the process is hardly simple.

if you don't care about NS, IE might let you dynamically change a form
element's type property, but i haven't experimented with that.
