[SOLVED] getting dynamic form values

[RIRedinPA]

if i am using javascript to create and populate a form and then want another script to get the values of that form how would I go about doing it?

 

for example:

 

function makeform() { 

var theform = "<form name='form1'><textarea name='ta1' rows='10' cols='20'>This is the content</textarea><p><a href='javascript void(0);' onClick='getformvalues();'>Submit</a>";

document.getElementById('formholder').innerHTML = theform; 
document.getElementById('formholder')style.display = "block";

}

function getformvalues() { 
alert(document.getElementById('ta1').value); 
}

 

I get nothing in the alert and the error console shows document.getElementById('ta1') as being null.

it's because neither of those elements have an id set.  either set the id (preferable), or use the name directly to access them.
