Hi I'm having a problem interacting with forms..

If I have this:

<form action="abc.php" name="blah">
<input name="action" value="xyz">
</form>

document.forms.blah.action is xyz

How can I get abc.php (without regexing outerHTML)?

Greetz!!

IE7 tested:

<body>
<form action="abc.php" name="blah">
<input name="action" value="xyz">
</form>

<script type='text/javascript'>

var temp = document.forms[0].innerHTML
document.forms[0].innerHTML = ''
var actionVal = document.forms[0].action
document.forms[0].innerHTML = temp

alert(actionVal)

</script>

Don't use `action' for the name of the control (or `name', or
`submit', or any other already used property name), then use
the standards-compliant

document.forms["blah"].action

However, most certainly you won't need the `document.forms["blah"]'
part as you can pass a reference to the object with `this.form'.
