HTMLFormElement.name
The HTMLFormElement.name
property represents the name of
the current <form>
element as a string.
If your <form>
element contains an element named name then
that element overrides the form.name
property, so that you can't access it.
Internet Explorer (IE) does not allow the name attribute of an element created using
createElement()
to be set or modified using the name
property.
Syntax
var string = form.name;
form.name = string;
Example
var form1name = document.getElementById('form1').name;
if (form1name != document.form.form1) {
// Browser doesn't support this form of reference
}
