How to Get the FormName and put to a variable

Hi GreyHead
I need to get the form name to use in javaScript validation

below i have the model of my validation

alert("Message of Alert here")
document.FormName.ElementName.value="";
document.FormName.ElementName.focus(); 
return false;

All what I need is to get the form name and put the value in my validation

I tried the code:

theForms = document.getElementsByTagName("form");  
for(k=0;k<theForms.length;k++)

and if i try to see like

alert(theForms[k].name);

I can see the name of form
but when i write

alert("Message of Alert here")
document.theForms[k].name.ElementName.value="";
document.theForms[k].name.ElementName.focus(); 
return false;

is return the the Undefined

where am I doing wrong?

Hi clovismmbr,

You can set the Form Name as a variable in the Form Javascript box

var formname = '<?php echo $MyForm->formrow->name; ?>';

PS Personally I'd use the MooTools methods and address the elements using their ids.

This works but when I use it I get an error 'undefined'.

I have a specific validation in javascript that i will use in all forms
i think i have to study more javascript.
for a while i am typing the name of the form in each javascript box.

Hello Bob, thank you, this solved my issues
