How can I reference the field before or after the current one without knowing the name?

How do I send the info from one text field in a form to multiple fields of a flatfile database

The elements array of the form contains all the fields in a form. You 
can use a function to find the current field in the array and then 
access the previous or next one by number. 
For example, to find the next element, pass a reference to the current 
element to this function:
function nextElement(el)
{
   var current = 0;
   var frm = el.form;
   for (var i=0; i < frm.length; i++)
   {
	if (frm.elements[i] == el)
	{
		current = i;
		break;
	}
   }
   return (current+1)
}
