The getElementsByName() method returns a collection of objects with the specified NAME.
example:
<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript">
function getElements()
{
var x=document.getElementsByName("myInput");
alert(x.length);
}
</script>
</head>
<body><input name="myInput" type="text" size="20" /><br />
<input name="myInput" type="text" size="20" /><br />
<input name="myInput" type="text" size="20" /><br />
<br />
<input type="button" onclick="getElements()"
value="How many elements named 'myInput'?" /></body>
</html>
