Let me check a little point though, did you set the *id* of your input to
"act" or was "act" just the *name* ? Because this selector : $('#act')
selects an element that has the *id* "act", whereas in vanilla DOM
document.your_form.act points to the element that has the *name* "act". If
so, no wonder your field wasn't changed in time, or at all.
