-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Form controls with any "illegal" characters can be accessed with
`formref.elements["myselect[]"]` - The bracket characters,
amongst others, are illegal in ID attributes and javascript
identifiers, so you should try to avoid them as browsers may
handle them incorrectly.
