getting a document object from a form reference?

[Llorenc Sole]

Hello,

Is it possible to get a reference to a form's document object
exclusively from a reference to the same form? I mean, for example, if I
have:

var f1 = document.forms["form1"];
var f2 = parent.document.forms["form2"];
var f3 = top.document.forms["form3"];

Is it possible to get the document object of each form only from these
vars? Is there something like, i.e., a "form.document" property?

TIA,

Llorenc Sole

if ('undefined' != typeof myForm.ownerDocument) {
var doc = myForm.ownerDocument;
}

This property check only for ancient browsers. If you make environment
check somewhere else, then simply:

var doc = myForm.ownerDocument;

Hi,

var doc = myForm.ownerDocument;

Wow, exactly what I was looking for. Thank you!

}

Reading this I thought you could get a posting right once. But:

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Such as IE for Windows < 6.0, non-Windows IE, and Opera < 7.0, I suppose.

If you make environment check somewhere else, then simply:

var doc = myForm.ownerDocument;

Which is not any kind of check at all.
