I have a very simple page with an HTML FORM that has a SELECT element.
When I try to access the element via its ID or NAME it will come back as
undefined. If you remove the surrounding FORM tag - it is a reference to the
DOM object.
Why does adding the form tag make the element inaccessible via its ID??
Thanks for any help!
