Re: [Zope] form variable types conflicts with javascript

Form type variables are great, but it causes a problem with
Javascript.  Example:
<input name="default" type="checkbox"
       onClick="setDefault(this,this.form.name:list)">
 <input name="name:list" type="text">
This doesn't work, as Javascript won't recognize name:list as a
variable name when calling setDefault.  I've tried various
combinations with no such luck.  Any suggestions?
This should work:

 <input name="default" type="checkbox"
       onClick="setDefault(this,this.form['name:list'])">

In general, Javascript allows you to use "container['name']" notation
instead of "container.name".
