The Form Object
The Form object represents a form created by the <FORM></FORM> tags. The Form object can be accessed as a property of the Document object. Using forms in VBScript is similar to using forms in Visual Basic for Applications. Any controls contained within the <FORM></FORM> tags are accessed with the Form.Control.Property syntax. Additionally, the Internet Explorer provides complete support for all of the events for a control contained in a form. Tables 3-8, 3-9, and 3-10 show the properties, method, and event for the Form object.
