[webkit-dev] accessing forms using document."form-name". causes crash in XHTML file

Thu Nov 20 02:36:52 PST 2008

hi

i hope u hav checked out xhtml standards
there are some rules about xhtml document (i.e. how to write or read)
http://www.w3schools.com/xhtml/xhtml_html.asp
Follow above link. Probably u will get answer.
just one observation, in xhtml 'name' attribute of tags is always
replaced by 'id'.

Thanks & Regards
Niilesh
