How can JavaScript refer to a PHP MULTIPLE SELECT form object, such as foo[] (how to escape the [])?

I found my own answer, I'll share it:
Use foo[]'s numerical form element id or enclose the variable name in 
single quotes.
An example:
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
document.forms[0].elements['foo[]'].value = "This should work";
</SCRIPT>
<FORM>
<SELECT NAME = "foo[]">
  <OPTION VALUE="1">1
</SELECT>
</FORM>
