[Javascript] javascript and id's

[Anthony Ettinger]

Well, from what I've talked with some co-workers, they
are saying 'id' should be used instead of 'name'.
Although I'm sure they will always be backwards
compatible. The problem I raised was what do you do in
a radio group? where id would/should be the name (but
id implies only one per page).

I don't know who is right/wrong. But the latest
javascript I've seen all seems to revolve around
getElementById.
