JS Console says:
Error: fGetQuote.optProduct[0] has no properties
Source File: http://www.allstate.com/Home/Home.asp
Line: 261

stuff like that is usually Evang, but a quick glance at the source doesn't show
anything wrong, and the site worked fine with 1.4

Attachment: testcase

<form name="frmGetAQuote">
  <input type="radio" id="optProduct" name="optProduct" value="Au" checked>
  <input type="radio" id="optProduct" name="optProduct" value="Co">
</form>
<script>document.write(document.frmGetAQuote.optProduct);</script>

Mozilla 1.4 says "[object NodeList]"
trunk 2003090605 says "[object HTMLInputElement]"

If the <input>s have only an id or only a name, trunk adopts Mozilla 1.4's
behavior.

the testcase regressed between linux trunk 2003072205 and 2003072305, which is
bug 213347, but that checkin only switched the bug from a different case to this
one.  the real bug has existed since at least 1.0.
