Yes. Confusing, now that you mention it. w3schools
says you can use NAME as a scripting object. In my
experience that's not true, so I just avoid it altogether
unless I need something like multiple unique IDs in an HTA.
That's what I meant above -- that using it in scripting
as an object variable is IE-only. I guess ID also started
making more sense when CSS became popular, because
that treats ID as a unique referrer as well -- essentially
an object variable.

But NAME is used as an object of sorts with INPUT, to
identify a field. And for an OBJECT PARAM or META
tag, NAME is actually a keyword! Weird stuff.

Also, I don't get why youy say you had to use INPUT.
Normally that would be specifically for typing into. This
works fine:

LABEL ID="clock" SIZE=30Needs javascript/LABEL
....
clock.innerText = mons[mo] + ' ' + da ....etc.
