HTMLFormElement.name
The HTMLFormElement.name
property represents the name of the current form
element as a string.
If your <form>
elment 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.

Example
