It's easy enough to get elements by their id (getElementById) or by
their type (getElementsByTagName). What about doing so for form
variable names? How might one go about getting the element(s)
associated with document.forms[0].varname?

document.forms['formname']
gives you the HTML form element(s)with name 'formname'.
document.forms.formName.elements['controlname']
gives you the control(s) (e.g. input, textarea, select) with name
'controlname' in the form with name 'formName'.
