Name

NAME — NN 3 IE 4 HTML n/a

Synopsis

NAME=”elementIdentifier"

Optional

If you are scripting an image (especially swapping precached images), it is usually more convenient to create a reference to the IMG element by using a unique name you assign to the item. Thus, if you edit the page and move or delete multiple IMG elements on the page, you do not have to worry about adjusting index values to array-style references (document.images[i]).

Example

<IMG NAME="mugshot" SRC="janem.jpg" HEIGHT=90 WIDTH=80>

Value

Case-sensitive identifier.

Default

None.

Object Model Reference

NN

[window.]document.images[i].name

[window.]document.imageName.name

IE

[window.]document.images[i].name

[window.]document.imageName.name
