(i'm new to javascript) I found the following Javascript and is confused by
its syntax. Why the expression "window.status=input.form[0].value;" is
valid (i verified this in ie6) and has the same result as the expression
"window.status=input.form.elements[0].value"?

As fas as I understand, "input.form" represents the form object. And, this
form object isnt an array. Why we can use array accessing syntax on an
ordinary object?

Well what you think is "array accessing syntax" is simply a way to
access properties of an object in JavaScript, see
