the syntax is correct actualy!

Question:
Do you mean the field/button with the number 1 (first field/button) or a
field/button NAMED "1"?

In the first case you should omit the quotes, in the second case
you really should use another name, since you may get very strange  
results
when naming object with a number!

Just call the field "field1" (button "button1") and then try again.

Works fine here :-)
