tested with todays build on Win2k, WORKSFORME, please reopen if you still see
this crash.

Hmm, my build is only 1 day old and I get the crash even in 0.7 and 0.8 (100%).
Will test next week with a newer build and either verify or reopen.

Reminder to myself to check then too (might be related):

<form onsubmit="alert(this.elements.namedItem('radio'))">
<input type=radio name=radio value=a>A
<input type=radio name=radio value=b>B
<input type=submit value=test>
</form>

This prints "[object HTMLCollection]", but should return a single node.
There might be a conflict between DOM0 and DOM2.

Reopening.
Still crashes with 2001-04-20-21-trunk (installer), Win NT 4.0, SP 6a.
I have tried with a new profile, crashes 100% for me.

Confirming crash with buildID 2001050404 win2k. Adding mozilla1.0 keyword
nomination.
DOM1 HTML
(http://www.w3.org/TR/1998/REC-DOM-Level-1-19981001/level-one-html.html#ID-1019015399)
spec says 
"Return Value
The Node with a name or id attribute whose value corresponds to the specified
string. Upon failure (e.g., no node with this name exists), returns null."

This appears to be fixed in the XPCDOM builds, the XPCDOM changes will most
likely land tuesday, next week.
