[thelist] xhtml 1.1 and javascript and w3 validation

[Beau Hartshorne]

Hi,

I'd like to write a page that validates to xhtml 1.1 transitional. On
the page, I have a simple form like this:

<form name="widgets">
<input type="text name="title" />
</form>

The xhtml validator chokes on the name="widgets" attribute. So, I tried
replacing it with this:

<form id="widgets">
<input type="text name="title" />
</form>

Which does validate, but which also breaks this JavaScript code (in
Mozilla and IE):

document.widgets.title.focus();

Can anyone tell me if there's another attribute that I could use that
JavaScript will know about (because JavaScript doesn't seem to be able
to find my id attribute).

TIA,

Beau
