HTMLFormElement: name property

{{APIRef("HTML DOM")}}

The HTMLFormElement.name property represents the name of the current {{HtmlElement("form")}} element as a string.

If your {{HTMLElement("Form")}} element contains an element named name then that element overrides the form.name property, so that you can't access it.

Value

A string.

Examples

const form1name = document.getElementById("form1").name;

if (form1name !== document.form.form1) {
  // Browser doesn't support this form of reference
}
