Firefox not evaluating a script

[mike]

I am using the following script for a function to evaluate a string of
data.

<script type="text/JavaScript">
function buform1_changed() {

buform1.item_name.value=buform1.items.value.substring(13,buform1.items.value.length)
buform1.amount.value=buform1.items.value.substring(6,11)
buform1.item_number.value=buform1.items.value.substring(0,6)}
</script>

This is in my header and in the body I do have a form called buform1
It is working just fine in IE. However in Firefox it does not.
Javascript Console says that buform1 is not defined. Because it is not
defined the function will not run.

Any thoughts on why or what I need to do?
Thanks.

The following form related properties (originally from Internet Explorer)
are not supported in the W3C Document Object Model:

* FormName.InputName.value

-- http://www.mozilla.org/docs/web-developer/upgrade_2.html#dom

(That document also explains the standard ways to access form controls)

not supported in DOM, but FF supports this particular way to acces
input's value, so its not the cause of the problem...

try accesing it like this

document.forms["buforml"].elements["item_number"].value=""
