I'm no expert on the DOM, but I don't really understand what you mean.
The following code:
<object id="log" classid="pizza" name="mmm"></object>
<script>
alert(document.getElementById("log").getAttribute("name"));
alert(document.getElementsByTagName("object")[0].getAttribute("classid"));
</script>
works exactly how I would expect it to work in IE 6.
Also, I thought someone said something about IE discarding DOM info on
unknown elements (e.g. datalist) also.
Sorry about forgetting a question mark in the original message.
