try something like this

var o =document.getElementById("one1")
var t=document.getElementById("two2")
var e=e? e : window.event;
var targ=e.target? e.target : e.srcElement;

function show{
if (if (target==o ){document.write("forumone")}
else if(if (target==t ){document.write("forumtwo")

onclick="show()"

add ids to both forums;one1 and two2 and put the onclick in them

Your syntax is invalid, and targ will always be undefined (even the setting of it will cause an error except in IE).
<script type="text/javascript">
function setCurrentForm() {
document.getElementById("currentFormName").firstChild.nodeValue = (this.form.name || this.form.id);
}

onload = function() {
for(var i = 0, f = document.forms; i < f.length; ++i)
for(var j = 0, e = f[i].elements; j < e.length; ++j)
e[j].onfocus = setCurrentForm();
};
</script>
</head>
<body>
<p id="currentFormName"> </p>
