Description*
The 'with' statement in JavaScript lets you preface an object and all of its properties and methods without a long object address, saving you time while you are coding. For example this function below uses the 'with' statement after the function is declared. The with statement passes the form object which allows the rest of the script to access the form's properties and methods without a full address.		Type*

This function belows doesn't use the 'with' statement.  Every time you have to access an object  on the form you have to tell the browser where the object is.  Hence the long obect address: document.forms[0].whaturl.selectedIndex.
