HTMLFormControlsCollection: namedItem() method
The HTMLFormControlsCollection.namedItem()
method returns
the RadioNodeList
or the Element
in the collection whose
name

match the specified name, or null
if
no node matches.
Note that this version of namedItem()
hides the one inherited from

. Like that one, in JavaScript, using the array bracket
syntax with a String
, like collection["value"]
is
equivalent to collection.namedItem("value")
.
