[development] using jquery to access a form element

[Steven Jones]

However, you cannot therefore guarantee that the form element will
always have the same ID.

Usually I'd add a class to the item I want to add the behaviour to (in
form alter or theme function), and then attach the javascript using
the Drupal.behaviors technique.
