1. Has the DOM finished loading?
If no, then why expect it to return anything but null. null is the clue
that it is non-existent.
2. You should use existing collections rather than getElementById,
getElementsByTagName, or any other variants.
document.forms['form1'].elements['Text1']; // [object HTMLInputElement]
3. I am not entirely sure what IIS/ASP'ish monstrosity you are going
for, but you should always use clean and valid markup.
