What is a form object?

Rating:

A form and its elements are two-way gateways between users and JavaScript programs. The form elements are the only way with which users can feed textual information or select an item from a list of items. Users can send their information with the help of forms to the Web server. A form object must take the reference of the document object; otherwise, it will result in an error.

There are two ways of accessing a form object, which are as follows:

1. form name


2. form array


3. getElementById() method of the document object

For example, if a user creates a form by using the form tag and names the form as form1, he can then access the form in the following two ways:

1. document.form1


2. document.forms[0]

If the ID of the form is myform, the form can be accessed in the following way:

mydocform=document.getElementById("myform")
