i have links all over the place that use the name tag to open a link in a new window without losing your place on the page
i never used id, but from something i saw it loks like you can add css option IN the id tag as well.. so i didn't think that it was a replacement for name
Well it looks like you're just setting a page anchor there. Sure, use name for that. But there's no reason not to use ID. CSS/javascript can identify any element that's properly IDed (just make sure everything is distinctly named!) and do almost anything you want to it.
ID isn't really a replacement for name. They both have their uses. ID has more uses, for me, but there's no "ID is better than NAME" or whatever, because they do different things.
lol.
yeah. i'm nto sure. i think it was meant in reference to the a that name was deprecated, but i agree, something sounds fishy about w3cschools calling it deprecated now that i think of it in reference to ththe inputs of a form.
