[Javascript] How to refer to an HTML element's ID attribute

[David Lovering]

... Or if you are doing a traverse of a form's elements you can use
something like this --

var numElements = document.forms[0].elements.length;
for (var i=0; i<numElements; i++) {
  var localElementID = document.forms[0].elements[i].id;
  document.write("<left>" + localElementID + "</left><br>\n");
}

In theory, you can access any object's id by this method (assuming that it
is defined).
