Topic awaiting preservation: Found this and... (Page 1 of 1)

Many of you will already know this, if so - please disregard.
I found this yesterday and thought 'OMG! That's going to save me hours of programming time!'

When referencing elements within a form (JavaScript), instead of typing:
document.myForm.element.value each time - try this:


function myFunction() {
with (document.forms["myForm"]) {

all page elements called in this function are now assumed to belong to document.myForm - e.g. element1.value


}
}

Thought I'd share with those who didn'tknow this existed (like me - before yesterday).
