Problem with NS and Javascript

Alright, I'm sure this is a simple answer, but since I can't figure it out, I'm hoping someone else can. I'm writing a script to make sure that certain parts of this form have been filled out. The important part of my code is the following:

if (document.forms.date.begday.value != 'dd')
{
/* do nothing */
}
else
{
error = error + "- Please choose a beginning day.\n";
verdict = "false";
}


I believe that my reference to the element "begday" in the form "date" is not working correctly. It's fine in IE (of course), but will not work in NS. Thanks for all help.

You could try alert()ing the object, building up one step at a time and see what kind of results you get:

alert (document.forms.date);
alert (document.forms.date.begday);

etc..

also: correct syntax is document.forms.date.elements.begday.value - that might solve your problem.

Also sometimes helpful to try alerting or document.writing all (exposed) properties for an object (such as the form / element) using a for .. in loop.

Maybe you could put up your form html (or the relevant section of) as an example of what's not working.
