When manipulating a form element, i use:
document.formname.elements["item_name"]. ... etc.
but that only works in Mozilla and NS.
This is because these browsers dont like _'s and require the form element to be represented in a readable string.
For Internet Explorer do i just do:
document.formname.item_name. ... ?
or is there a better way?

document.formname.elements["item_name"] works in all browsers. I have had no problem with IE using that method.

document.forms["userdefform"].elements["fieldname"].options[0] = new Option("text", "value");
IE: FAILED
NS: SUCCESS
document.userdefform.elements["fieldname"].options[0] = new Option("text", "value");
IE: FAILED
NS: SUCCESS
anything else?
