           Summary: XHTML DOM collection elements <--> JS bindings; issues
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 528+ (Nightly build)
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Mac OS X 10.5
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P1
         Component: JavaScriptCore
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
        ReportedBy: raghavendra.deshpande at philips.com

Accessing the form elements through "document.myform-id" doesn't work in XHTML
files. But if i try the same mechanism, in HTML file, it works fine. 
Since I am using XHTML 1.0 transitional, it should work with XHTML file as
well.

In XHTML content, the JSCore throws TypeError, saying "document.myform-id" is
undefined.

I have tested this on Safari with latest nightly and Webkit/Gtk+ with latest
nightly.

[Note: The JS engine in Chrome supports this way of accessing forms.]

See the test page below:

<form id="myform" method="POST" action="about:blank">
<input type="hidden" id="name" value=""></input>
</form>

<script type="text/javascript">
document.myform.name.value="test";
document.myform.setAttribute("action","about:blank");
document.myform.submit();
</script>
</body>
</html>
