Hello,

Salesforce.com custom fields have preassigned field names that start with zeroes "00N000000etc". (Doesn't conform to W3C standards: http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/types.html#type-name)

For some reason, client-side JavaScript raises an error whenever I try to access a custom field. Using eval(  ) doesn't work either. If the first character of the field name starts with a character, it all works fine. Any workarounds?

  // these don't work
 eval("alert(myForm.00N00000006ozIN.value)");
alert(myForm.00N00000006ozIN.value);

  // these work
 eval("alert(myForm.x00N00000006ozIN.value)");
alert(myForm.x00N00000006ozIN.value);

Thanks so much.

-Zach.
