I am seeing this on Mac OS 9.1 with build id 2001010908.  Changing platform to
Macintosh and OS to all to reflect this.  Confirming bug, and nominating for
mozilla1.0.  Based on reporter's comments, also adding keyword 4xp.

I am seeing this also on Windows 2000 with Mozilla 0.7 release (2001010901).

Notice that the buttons also seem to smudge on the page (IE: don't appear 
correctly after tab).

This page works "right" on IE.

I believe that a DOM expert should take a look at it. Although I am no expert 
on DOM, I do not see anything in the DOM that talks about one being allowed to 
access an element by document.elementname - one has to use 
document.getElementsByName("elementname)[1] or document.forms["elementname"] or 
document.forms.namedItem("elementname")

http://www.w3.org/TR/DOM-Level-2-HTML/ecma-script-binding.html

In fact the document is only allowed to have one element as a child (and that 
is the body).
http://www.w3.org/TR/DOM-Level-2-Core/core.html#ID-1590626202

I think the fact that Mozilla and Netscape 6 puked should be looked at, but I 
don't think that this page follows the standard correctly.

Duplicate of bug 49951. 

I talked to jst. Although this page is written incorrectly, it is a bug with 
Mozilla/NS6 because they are supposed to be backward compatible with 4.x pages. 
The elements array is ordered differently than 4.X.
