w3c document.forms[0].fieldname equivalent

I've been using

document.forms[0].fieldname.value

to get values in javascript from a form, but I'd like to use a name to reference the field and not a 0, what would be the equivalent these days since <form name=formname> isn't compliant?

The easiest way is to add an id to the input: <input id=fieldname /> and reference the value from JavaScript like so:

document.getElementById('fieldname').value

or, if you're using jQuery

$('#fieldname').val();
