Is there any way to target an object using its name if it has a space in it?

		<form id="myform" action="" method="get" name="myform">
			<input type="text" name="test field" value="asdasdasd" size="24"><input onclick="alert(document.myform.test%20field.value);" type="submit" name="submitButtonName">
		</form>

Using %20 in place of the space doesn't work. Thanks.

You should not use spaces for "name", anyway if you use them remember that in most cases(?) the space in the name serverside will result in an underscore (_).

That's what I figured, thanks.
