I'll have to fix it now, rather than just griping about it on my blog :-) For the benefit of everybody not in the Historic Futures office today, we decided that the best solution that doesn't use 'with' is simply to define a local variable to do what you want. var status=null; var els=document.myForm.elements; for (var i=0;i Thanks for owning up, Simon.

It was me. I have an excuse, and it's a poor one. Without the "with" the amount of typing I was going to have to do was much greater. As I wrote it, I cringed. It's one of those weird pieces of code that even a year on(?) I still remember writing and hating as I felt sure there was a simpler better way to do it, but as usual it was urgent that it be done... I have a feeling that it may be the only time it is used throughout the whole 10000+ lines of code, and you found it... Thanks Dave! Hands up! It was me. I have an excuse, and it’s a poor one.
