Looking at your javascript code segment:
<SCRIPT><![CDATA[
var field = document.getElementById("form1:field");
alert(field.id+"="+field.value+", tag="+field.tagName);
]]></SCRIPT>
This code probably gets executed before the textField has been added to
the DOM Tree. What you should have is a function with this code and
invoke the function during onLoad().
<head>
<script>
function foo() {
var field = document.getElementById("form1:field");
alert(field.id+"="+field.value+", tag="+field.tagName);
}
</script>
</head>
<body onload="foo();" .../>
</body>
