Thanks a lot, found the solution by myself :-)

As the BE TCEforms are not rendered properly (with regard to the use of 
the "id" attribute additionally to "name" in form elements - I needed it 
for JS getElementById command) I have patched the function 
getSingleField_typeInput (just needed it for input elements) to have an 
"id" attribute as well (by the way in the hidden element too). Now it 
works as expected.

Have a nice day,
