There is a live version of

Document.forms[1] Is Undefined

the site running on a Windows server. In the web pages, often the Javascript will reference a form on the page using the style document.formName, where formName is the name of the form. As far as I know, this is a cross-browser method, along with document.forms.formName and document.forms[0] and so forth. On my local development site, the reference document.frm1 (I know, bad naming practice) errors out; it is undefined. On the other hand, document.forms.frm1 works fine. Strangely,

Document.formname.fieldname.value Javascript

this doesn't occur on the server, although both pages are identical as far as the code goes. I've double checked with Firebug, and in both IE8 and Firefox 6. Another weird part: checking with Firebug, document.frm1 is undefined, but document.frmClose (another form) exists! Huh?!

Blindly adding a framework to your project just for the parts that duplicate standard functionality is Considered Harmful. –Chris Baker Sep 15 '11 at 19:46 @Davide: Right, but it's not a browser issue; I'm using the same browser, with the same HTML, same Javascript... and it errors out locally, but not on the server. I'm not concerned with how to fix it, it's trivial. I'm concerned with why it's happening in the first place. –voithos Sep 15

It is located in the function checkboxes_sections_scopes() as part of the if statement. If http://www.webdeveloper.com/forum/showthread.php?263166-document-forms-name-is-undefined you want to copy and paste the code to see if for yourself you have to click a check box to get the program to throw the error. Below is enough of my source html and javascript to get the program to "work". I imagine that it is some kind of syntax error that I just can't see because I use the exact same DOM call in my function display_sections_scopes() where it works just fine. Code:
