Name

NAME — NN n/a IE n/a HTML 4

Synopsis

NAME=”elementIdentifier"

Optional

This attribute is included in the HTML 4.0 specification for consistency with other elements. Although NAME attributes are used for identifying form elements upon submission and for scripting references, the browsers through Version 4 do not support this attribute. (IE 4 uses the ID attribute to assign a name to an AREA element for scripted references.) This attribute may become active in future browsers.

Value

Case-sensitive identifier.

Default

None.
