When I try the following:

<html>
    <body>
        <script type="text/javascript">
            window.onload = function() {
                var test1 = document.getElementsByName("div1");
                alert(test1[0]);
                var test2 = test1[0].getElementsByName("div2");
                alert(test2[0]);
            }
        </script>
        <div name="div1">
            <div name="div2">
            </div>
        </div>
    </body>
</html>

It doesn’t work the way I intend it to. I made a form and I need to be able to get the form data in a similar manner to what I was testing with this.

    If I recall correctly, only the document (HTMLDocument) has the getElementsByName method. DOM Elements do not have that method and you cannot apply it by using them as the context.
