Actual Results: see Details Expected Results: on Firefox 2.0.0.12 it worked, on Firefox 1.5.x.x(don't remember complete version I use on my office PC) it works. seems eval isn't reconized anymore

We back-ported a change to conform to ECMA-262 and remove an extension from 1995 (obj.eval(str) for any object obj can delegate to Object.prototype.eval). eval is a global function now. Notice that it was never required to use document.eval(form) here. Computed names of properties are expressed using document[form], e.g. So the fix, which should work in all browsers (I hope), would be document[form][field].value=.... /be

We had security fixes that depended on removing the old eval-as-universal-method quirk, I should have noted. This was not just done for standards purity and that would not be sufficient reason to back-port to a patch release of Firefox 2. But Firefox 3 has the change to restrict eval to be a global function, as well. And no other browser has eval as a method of Object.prototype, so the best course is to change the code. So this bug could be reopened and morphed into a TE bug -- please advise, bugzilla gurus. /be
