Remember that getElementById is the "standards-compliant" method, the others are not, IIRC. They of course work too, but when manipulating DOM objects, getElementById is supposed to be used, according to the current standards.
Is there such a thing as casting in JS? I'm not sure. I don't think there is as far as object references go anyway, but I could be wrong.

Well, Any ways, from my previous experience with JavaScript, usually document.getElementById gives you an object, and casting it to form doesnt work all the time.. it is always better to use document.forms[i].action .

I just tried in IE and it worked fine, as I would expect since I do this sort of thing all the time. I would suggest throwing an alert before and after the code setting the action, display what the action of the form is. I did this and it does indeed change. -- Frank W.
