Rails spinoffs - Mar 2007 - How to set the attribute "name" to an element "iframe" to work with IE ?

Hi all,

How to set the attribute "name" to an element "iframe" to
work with
IE ?

I actually tried few ways, like :

this.iframe.name = "iframe-name";

or

this.iframe.setAttribute(''name'',
''iframe-name'');

but no one seems to work properly on IE (IE 7 at least).

In IE, the name element may only be set at creation time for elements  
created w/ createElement.

var inp = document.createElement(''input'');
inp.name = ''foo''; //Won''t work in IE.

dhtml/reference/properties/name_2.asp

Using innerHTML or Microsoft''s propriety version of createElement  
will work:

try {
       // First try the IE way; if this fails then use the standard way
       element = document.createElement(''<input
name="foo">'');
    } catch (e) {
       // Probably failed because we’re not running on IE
    }
    if (!element) {
       element = document.createElement(''input'');
       element.name = ''foo'';
    }
