The JS-code is slightky misleading:

var formname = document[theFormname];

formname is assigned the form object, not it's name.

I know it's nitpicking, but it's irritating when name and content obviously mismatch.

It may well be that it does. Why break some stupid browsers, just because of this xhtml crave? <rant>I really like standards, but I begin to hate XHTML 1.1. What has been gained by removing the name attribute?</rant>

I see no point in breaking the page for some users when we can fix it by using id only for "progressive" xhtml versions. If I stick to old html standards I expect that TYPO3 delivers "old" code.
