myform has no properties

[Psychcf]

keep getting this error on the forum index.

Code: Select all

<script language="javascript">
myform=(document.all)?document.all("logform"):document.getElementById("logform");
myform.username.focus();
</script>


it should be

Code: Select all

<script type="text/javascript">
myform=document.getElementById("logform");
if(myform != undefined) myform.username.focus();
</script>

Actually, no, this document.all stuff exists on some M$ browsers that did not support getElementById, so it has to be done that way...

However, it should be document.all["logform"] and not round parentheses.

However, in this specific case, why not use the old method - give the form a NAME="logform" (as opposed to ID) and then document.logform.username.focus()? That's what works in every browser...
