example that creates error :

The eval formula shown produced the actual name inside qoutes and it did
work.
However, 4.13 doesn't use eval. If you needed to build a property name,
use string concatenation:
document.forms['my' + 'Form']
But, the short version works too , so I will use that.
The "short" version, as you call it, is the much preferred approach. It is
almost *never* necessary to use eval(). Ever.
Code that uses eval is usually slower and it can be harder to debug. Worse
still, it is frequently used as a hack because it seems to get things
working, when in reality it does nothing but burden the browser.

Then you might want to learn to like it. It's an established practice,
especially amongst technical newsgroups. Some will even refuse to respond
to you if you continue to top-post after being told to stop. Bear that in
mind.

It is, but it is my understanding that the style is simply referred to as
bottom-posting. However, if I were to describe to someone how to correctly
post on Usenet, I would say (and have said):
When posting, please write in conversation order; place your
response beneath the text it addresses. Remaining quoted text
which you are not answering should be trimmed. Signatures should
always be removed unless they are being discussed.
I'm usually more terse than that, though.
[ 'bottom-posting' is actually something I advise
against in my (Java) FAQ, and the text of the JS FAQ
does not contain the word 'bottom'.
To truly bottom-post is just as illogical as top-posting. Neither style
allows a reader to tell what parts of a poster's response refers to which
of the preceeding points (did that make sense?).
It might seem like an trivial difference, but I
have become sick of reading posts from people who
add 1 line at the bottom of a 140 line post! ]
I know what you mean. :|

Since the regulars prefer to comply with recognised Usenet standards,
ISTM likely that they will in future not bother to reply to you. You'll
still get replies, but mainly from the ignorant.

Essentially, I want to do this:

I have a form for uploading documents and inserting the data into a mysql
