why can't we access an element with documents.form[0]; is there any specific reason? I have tried more than 50 times but coudn't get it.

Reason for edit:: highlight the text and click the 'code' button in the style editor..

That is because your calls to the document are invalid. Simply giving a variable the value of the whole document then using an id of an element as the variable name will not work, as it will assume that the document has a native variable of your id names. Why not use document.getElementById?
