The forms(x) referred to is the forms array of the document object. To
reference a form in your page using it, use:
document.forms[0]...
document.forms[1]...
OR
give the forms name and id attributes and access the array using these
instead:
document.forms['form1']...
document.forms['form2']...
EXAMPLE
<html>
<head><title>Forms</title></head>
<body>
<form id="form1" name="form1">
<select name="selectList" onChange="alert(document.forms
['form1'].selectList.options[document.forms
['form1'].selectList.selectedIndex].value)">
<option value="1">1</option>
<option value="2">2</option>
<option value="3">3</option>
<option value="4">4</option>
<option value="5">5</option>
</select>
</form>
</body>
</html>
Here, the form is referenced using:
document.forms['form1']
The select list option values are referenced by using the options array:
document.forms['form1'].selectList.options[...].value
And the array index of the currently selected option is given by:
document.forms['form1'].selectList.selectedIndex
Hope this helps (if it does, please let me know how you integrated it with
your table creation DOM thing)
