If you need to use the JS function getElementsName() which works perfectly in all other browsers except that f**king slough of programming despond that is IE. Try this.

It basically overrides the getElementsById() function with a new one that unlike the spew in IE, works!

if ( /msie/i.test(navigator.userAgent) && !/opera/i.test(navigator.userAgent) )
{
document.getElementsByName=function(str)
{
str=new String(str);
var myMatches=new Array();
var allEls=document.getElementsByTagName("*"),l=allEls.length;
for(var i=0;i<l;i++)if(allEls[i].name==str || allEls[i].getAttribute("name")==str)myMatches[myMatches.length]=allEls[i];
return myMatches;
}
}
