HTML form elements should be available in the JSDT model so their methods and attributes can be used in JavaScript code.

This includes being able to references form elements directly by name in JavaScript code as well as calling methods like "submit()" on a button object.

This would take part in the translation step where HTML or JSP pages are converted into JavaScript code so that it can be used for validation and content assist purposes. Currently all form tags are ignored, but this work would read in those tags and create a corresponding JavaScript object.

Reproducible: Always
