I think this is a syntax problem with your JS.  Shouldn't that more correctly be:

document.form.input.value = "value";

I can't remember if that's exactly correct (the document prefix is needed, but
the rest afterwards looks like some sort of pseudo-HTML DOM that probably
doesn't work).

Invalid.  document.form.etc is correct syntax.
