Bug Report:
    157951
Date:
    2004-11-23
Note:
    I've been told this is BAD (Broken As Designed). Internet Explorer
    confuses 'name' and 'id' and so, apparently, Opera must too.
Note:
    Fixed in 9.50a1 build 9500.

Version:
    Opera 7.60/Windows98/PC
Build:
    7321
Brief Summary:
    Wrong element returned by getElementById().
Severity:
    Spec violation
Part affected:
    ECMAScript
URL:
    http://home.swipnet.se/sigsegv/opera/bugs/getElementById.html
Detailed description:

    The DOM method 'getElementById()' should search the document
    tree for a matching 'id' attribute. It also, incorrectly,
    finds matching 'name' attributes.

    See test case.

    The alert box says "A = B", when it should say "A = A".

    This bug occured in O7.60p2.7263 and O7.60p1.7141,
    but NOT in O7.54.3865.
