Description

On placing a link on a Dialog to download a file, gives javascript error "Form undefined".
Find Sample generated Js below:

oamSubmitForm('downloadDialog-f','downloadDialog-f:downloadBulkData',null,[['Uri','ExportedData.zip']]);

On analyzing further, in methods, oamSubmitForm() and oamSetHiddenInput() it can't find the form.
I modified "Get form logic" from:

var form = document.forms[formName];

to

var form = document.getElementById(formName);

and it now works. We are currently using this workaround. But a neat solution in the jar would be more preferable.
