NAME — NN n/a IE 4 HTML 4

Synopsis

NAME=”elementIdentifier"

Optional

For a BUTTON element, the NAME attribute can play two roles, depending on the TYPE attribute setting. For all TYPE attribute settings, the NAME attribute lets you assign an identifier that can be used in scripted references to the element (the ID attribute is an alternate way to reference the element). For a button type of submit, the NAME attribute is sent as part of the name/value pair to the server at submit time.

Example

<BUTTON TYPE="submit" NAME="Type" VALUE="infoOnly">Request Info</BUTTON>

Value

Case-sensitive identifier.

Default

None.
