Re: "getAttribute" returns a child element instead of ...?

Is this what you meant? -> document.forms[0].name
Because this does the exactly same thing as "getAttribute".... it
returns the html input element and not the string with the value of the
attribute....

> Do not name any form control "name", to be exact

It is not "my" page so i cannot change it... I write BHO that reads
info from a page that could be any page on the net... and unfortunately
there is a possibility that i need to look for a specific form in a
page according to its name. So , isn't there any other way?

And, an off-topic question - How do I report the bug ?...

Thanks again, Noa
