Javascript: setAttribute() v.s. element.attribute = value to set “name” attribute

Question

I was trying to set a name attribute using a "." dot notation but it doesn't work whereas it is working if I use .setAttribute().

Can anyone help me with this?

Answer 1

Basically, when using a .name attribute, you are not mentioning the element type. For the name attribute to work, it should be present in the input element. So, it will work for setAttribute and not for .name attribute.

I hope this will help.
