Probably you mean the `name' attribute of the `form' element.
Markup elements, which consist of (a) tag(s) and sometimes
non-empty content, have attributes; objects have properties.
Is there another way to select a form, or is it even possible to
use getElementById to select a particular form?
1. name != ID. If you use names, use
document.getElementsByName("element_name")[zero_based_index]
2. Use the both standards compliant and downwards compatible
document.forms["form_name"]
reference or any shortcut of it (`this.form' suffices in
an event handler attribute value of a form control that
is decendant of a `form' element.)
3. This question was not new. Please read previous discussions before
posting.
