(The targets are footnotes.) no, i was not tied to a specific problem, i just thought that having name beside class and id would be a good choice, for different reasons ... as i assume using name instead of class is more common to find elements in the DOM, even if this can be done with the class too (and implemented by the browser vendors natively too) i still think having the name attribute is not wrong and still helpfully ... especially when thinking in an abstract way of objects, which i like to have them named, classified and indexed ... -- Sebastian Mendel
