JAWS can assign to object properties, but only one level deep, and not
when you have to index something on the left side of the equal sign.
So for a made-up example, you can not say, let o.prop(3).value = 5.
You can do this though:
let o1 = o.prop(3)
let o1.value = 5
As to your other question, I'm not fully clear on this, but I think
oDoc.id1 is the same as oDoc.getElementByID("id1"), and I think there
are other shortcuts like that. I may not be fully right about this.

Good Evening,
I have been playing around with manipulating Internet Explorer DOM objects in a
JAWS script. I have noticed that JAWS seems to be able to handle only one
level at a time. Therefore, I accomplished what I wanted with a series of
assignments. I have never programmed DOM objects in an object oriented
language, or any other language for that matter. Is this normal? Am I doing
something wrong? An example is included below of a online DVR Scheduler search
page.
; Empty Search page has:
; testInput search field, "Title & Description" (byTitle) and "Channel"
(byChannel ) buttons
let oDoc = ieGetCurrentDocument ()
Let sURL = oDoc.url ; Creates the URL of the current page
; JAWS can not seem to assign directly like:
; Let oDoc.forms(0).testInput.value = sProgram
Let oForm = oDoc.forms(0) ; the only form with an edit field and two buttons
Let oButton = oDoc.buttons(0) ; first button, "byTitle"
Let oEditField = oForm.testInput
; Is this the same as:
; Let oEditField = oForm("testInput")
Let oEditField.value = sProgram
