You missed the boat on this one Thomas. He didn't say use the "form
method", he said "use form methods for form" meaning, you use methods
related to the form to manipulate forms.

One "method" of accessing a form:

document.form['formID']

Another "method" to access it:

document.getElementById('formID')

Neither of which is a "method of the form" but it is a "form method" to
access the form.
