why can not acces form element in javascript function from xsl rendered

I have been trying to create a button  [e g. select all] that will select same 
value in select boxes/ radio buttons at a time that are created by using 
xsl/xml. I call javascript function selectAll on onClick() envent but can not 
access form element from function, and throws null or not an object error. I 
assign name to each select box dynamically
so as to have unique id for each select box in each row. 

function selectAll( listID, form) {
        //listID is an arrayList with list of IDs.
        for ( i = 0; i<listID.length; i++)
          // since each row in a table has select box, I use 
currency_uniqueRecordID(eid fetched from database)  as id for select boxes when 
          // rendering in html during xml-xsl transformation.
          var selectBox = 'currency_' + listID[i]; //name assigned for select 
box when rendering html
         //---this is not working. I have two options in each select box...US 
and EUR, and want to select US value in all dropdown.
          form.selectBox.options[1].selected = true; 
        }
}
The problem here is that the form element is not recognizable from javascript. 
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
