[xsl] Problems with form tag in javascript in an xml/xsl set

Hi
I have a situation where I have an xsl style sheet, that contains the the
contents for an HTML table of many fields, some text boxes, some select
boxes, etc.
This xsl file also contains a javascript and a form tag.

The xml data is dynamically built xml stack, not an xml file.

In the xsl style sheet is a javascript that is to walk through the form
looking for elements on the form that match a passed in className and then
check the values of these fields.  If they are null it pops up an alert.

The problem is that the xsl that has the html for the form tag, is not able
to be seen in the javascript that is in the same xsl file.  

It is as if there is no form.

I named the form  mainform.  

I have tried things like

var form1 = document.forms[0];

then print out the name of form1 and I get nothing.

Is there a problem with the form not actually being in a regular html file,
that the javascript, since it is in the xsl file, it does not know how to
handle the form?

When the page displays, I can see the form just fine, but I can not get the
if null conditional stuff to work, because it does not think there is a
form.

I can not include the xml but I can include the xsl

// this is the function where it walks through the forms elements
// elClass is the passed in className that is being searched for
function editTab(elClass)  {


   var form1 = document.forms[0];
   
   var elemClass = elClass;
   
   
   
  
   
   var elements=new Array()
   var form,element,f,e
   for (f in document.forms){
       form=document.forms[f]
       document.writeln("<br>form name = " + form.name + "</br>");
       document.writeln("<br>f = " + f + "</br>");
       for (e in form.elements){
           element=form.elements[e]
           if (element.className == elClass){
               elements.push(element.value)
           }
       }
   }

   
   
   
   if(elemClass == "demo") {
     document.writeln("<br>elements.length = " + elements.length + "</br>");
     document.writeln("<br>elemClass = " + elemClass + "</br>");
     document.writeln("<br>all.length = " + allTags.length + "</br>");
     
   }

  //get a list of all the tags in the form
  for (var intLoop = 0; intLoop < elements.length; intLoop++) {
      //document.writeln("<br>elemClass = " + elemClass + "</br>");
      //198 sertw;
      //if(form1.elements[intLoop].className){

        // save edit parameters
        strEdit = elements[intLoop].getAttribute('edit');  
        
                                                         
          // if edits, perform them
          if (strEdit != null) { 
              //document.writeln("<br>strEdit = " + strEdit + "</br>");
              //document.writeln("<br>intLoop = " + intLoop + "</br>");
              strFldName = elements[intLoop].getAttribute('title') + " (" +
elements[intLoop].getAttribute('name') + ")";  // save field name
              // parse edits
              strResult =
strEdit.match(/[a-zA-Z]+\([a-zA-Z0-9,\.\*\/\-]+\)/g); 
              // set required 
              var strReq = "0";    
              //turn off red box - then turn on if error below
              //elements[intLoop].parentNode.borderColor="lightblue"; 
              //elements[intLoop].parentNode.style.borderWidth="3px"; 
              
              // Go through the edits for this field
