HTMLImageElement: name property

{{APIRef("HTML DOM")}}{{deprecated_header}}

The deprecated name property of the {{domxref("HTMLImageElement")}} interface specifies a name for the element. It reflects the `` element's name content attribute. It has been replaced by the {{domxref("Element.id", "id")}} property available on all elements, and is kept only for compatibility reasons.

Value

A string providing a name by which the image can be referenced.

Examples

Setting the name attribute

const img = new Image();
img.src = "example.png";
img.alt = "An example picture";
img.name = "example-img";

Instead of doing this, set the id property instead:

img.id = "example-img";
