First you use valid (X)HTML.

If you are using HTML, you shouldn't have that "/" in there.
In you are using XHTML then you must quote all your attribute values.
Either way, id="1" isn't valid, because ids must begin with a letter.

Then you use DOM.

document.getElementById('value-of-id-attribute')

will return a reference to the element. Then you can access whatever
properties of it you like, such as the value.

//--- get value
var id = getElementById("name1").value;

//--- set value
getElementById("name1").value = "1234";
