[thelist] Forms and getElementById

[Rob Whitener]

Thanks,

I found out quickly that that doesn't work.  I wasn't sure if maybe there
was something I didn't know about the relationship between the document and
the form.  It crashed and burned, I just forgot to remove that line before I
posted.  Woops.

Rob, I've not seen GEBId used this way, maybe this is why..try:

var tag = document.getElementById("e_mail");

The method doesn't need to enter into the forms array to find an item
by the id (thus the name). You can access your tag directly by id.
