Hi,all,
    I'm trying to use javascript DOM programming in my application, but
something strange happen with Netscape/Mozilla. When I try to get input
value with
    document.getElementById("username").getAttribute("value")
I only get the default value "jean", but not the value I key in. But if I
try
    document.forms[0].elements["username"].value
It returns the correct value. It works fine in IE, but both Netscape7 &
Mozilla1.2 gets the same problem, any one knows why? And any solution?
    The tag is defined as follow:
    <INPUT size="20" type="text" name="username" id="username" value="jean"
>

    Thanks in advance.
Regards
                                                                        Jean
