Comment:
Please add a definition for &quot;being in a forms collection&quot;. The intuitive
meaning is that it is document.forms, hence covering all forms in the
document.  The expression &quot;the forms collection that it is in, if any&quot; is thus
confusing.

    <thetext>Why is it confusing? I don&apos;t understand.

It does mean the document.forms collection (hence why it links to it), but not all &lt;form&gt;s are in a forms collection, since some aren&apos;t in a Document.</thetext>
