Do you have any other element with attribute name = "form-name" because older versions of IE didn't distinguish b/w id="" and name=""

untested but how about trying:

document.getElementById('form-name')["hidden-input-name"].value

The element name is not a valid JavaScript identifier, so you must use such syntax instead:

var value = document.getElementById('form-name').elements("hidden-input-name").value;
