    handler: function(){simple.getForm().reset()}
        }]
         
    
    });

Any help much appreciated

Use the getForm() method to get the form, then use findField('name') to get the field.

var f = simple.getForm();
var name = f.findField('name');

This way does not require you to assign ID's to each form element.

[tomalex0]

simple.getForm().getValues();

Returns the fields in this form as an object with key/value pairs as they would be submitted using a standard form submit.
If multiple fields exist with the same name they are returned as an array.
