Hi,

Ok, tested on IE 6.0:
  <html><body onLoad='alert(""+document.myname.nodeName)'>
  <form name="myname">
    <input name="myname" type="text">
  </form>
  </body></html>
Message box shows FORM. With document.myname.myname.nodeName it shows
INPUT.
If I add another form with 'myname' as name, the alert box shows
'undefined', without the 'nodeName' its '[Object]'

Can't we get rid of this once and for all in kjs, eg. return '[Unknown]'
or '[Object]'?

It seems that no collection is returned when child/parent with the same
name occur.
