  var theInput = document.getElementById('h');

You could also access it as a property of the form element.

Don't get hung up on complex selectors - they can easily create more
problems than they solve.  Change the structure of your document and
they may well stop working.  In this case, someone may decide to
layout the page using a table rather than divs, so your selectors
based on div go belly up.
