Submit name Property

Submit Object

Definition and Usage

The name property sets or returns the value of the name attribute of a submit button.

The name attribute is used to identify form data after it has been submitted to the server, or to reference form data using JavaScript on the client side.

Note: Only form elements with a name attribute will have their values passed when submitting a form.

Syntax

Set the name property:

submitObject.name="name"

Return the name property:

submitObject.name

Browser Support

The name property is supported in all major browsers.

Example

Display the value of the name attribute of the Submit button:

<html>
<head>
<script>
function displayResult()
{
var x=document.getElementById("submit1").name;
alert(x);
}
</script>
</head>
<body>

<form>
Email: <input type="text" id="email">
<input type="submit" name="submit1" id="submit1">
</form>

<button type="button" onclick="displayResult()">Display name</button>

</body>
</html>
