I heard that the name attribute is deprecated in html 4.01 strict. Is it
recommended that you use the ID attribute for images along with the
getElementById method instead of the old way? Thanks.

I don't know if it is deprecated, it surprises me a bit for there exist a
global collection
document.images
That collection is addressed by numerical indexes or by NAME properties:
document.images["mygifName"].src
this is why if it has been deprectaed it would surprise me. yet everything
is possible...!
Yet, of course getElementById requires an ID="something" .
Of course, you can use both name= and id= in an image - the name to exploit
the document.images collection, the id for getElementById or, let's say,
dhtml

I just validated a page, with html4.01 strict, that has name attributes in the
img tags and it validated fine. So I doubt that its been deprecated. If it has,
then the validator at w3c is wrong.

Yeah I validated an image map where the image has a name attribute in it. I
guess I'm wrong about this one--can't remember where I heard it.

Some uses of the name attribute are deprecated in HTML 4.01. That
means that they are removed from HTML 4.01 Strict, and not just
deprecated.
Is it recommended that you use the ID attribute for images along
with the getElementById method instead of the old way?
In HTML 4.01 Strict, if you need to name an element, other than a form
control, you should use the id attribute. It is the only available
attribute.
You can use either document.getEle mentsById or document.images .namedItem
to access an image in W3C DOM 2 HTML. In ECMAScript, using square brackets
is equivalent to using the namedItem method on collections.

The `name' attribute for the `img' element is _not_ deprecated:
http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/index/attributes.html#n (no `D' there at `IMG'!)

That's what the HTML 4.01 Specification recommends but you need to
reconsider that, depending on your target group. If you don't want
to exclude users of UAs not capable of the W3C-DOM like Netscape 4.x,
use the `name' attribute anyway since there is no other way than the
so-called "DOM Level 0"'s document.images[...] collection to access
images.

The document.images collection is actually official DOM 2.

No. The attribute index in the recommendation from
http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/
only shows the name attribute of the APPLET tag as being deprecated, but
this follows from the APPLET tag being deprecated. A search through
the DTD itself shows name attributes on various element types, including
IMG.
Is it recommended that you use the ID attribute for images along with the
getElementById method instead of the old way?
Yes and not necessarily.
It recommends to use id on image elements to identify them, but allows
giving them a name attribute (with the exact same value as any id
attribute provided) for backwards compatability.
The DOM2 HTML recommendation describes the document.images collection
without deprecation. It notes for backwards compatability the collection
excludes images included in the document using OBJECT tags, and
recommends using getElementsByTa gName instead of document.images to
"find the images in the document". In the absence of deprecation, I take
this to imply "when the presence of images resulting from OBJECT tag
usage may be at issue".
Using getElementById to find images is perfectly acceptable.

I recommend you only use the id attribute for <img> for 2 reasons:
- id is unique when name attribute is not
- if you ever want to convert your HTML 4.01 page to XHTML, then you're
already a step closer since "XHTML 1.0 has deprecated the name attribute
of the a, applet, form, frame, iframe, img, and map elements, and it
will be removed from XHTML in subsequent versions." http://www.w3.org/TR/2002/REC-xhtml1-20020801/#C_8

No doubt I've overlooked something obvious, but here goes:
Let's say I assign a value to a var, e.g.:
myPlace = 'right here'
myTime = 'right now'
Now let's say I want to print out the two vars, along with their names.
I could easily do this:
print "myPlace = %s, myTime = %s" % (myPlace, myTime)

I'm using SOAP3.0. I was able to successfully call a WSDL file and get
