	Read/Write
This is the identifier associated with the form. This information is not submitted with the form, but a form's name is used in references to the form and nested form elements. Despite the modern standards' preference for the id attribute, many browsers still require that a form be assigned a name attribute to allow the form to be submitted.

Example

var firstFormName = document.forms[0].name;

Value
Case-sensitive identifier that follows the rules of identifier naming: it may contain no whitespace, cannot begin with a numeral, and should avoid punctuation except for the underscore character.

Default
None.
