Difference between Name= and Id=

[MrMajik]

My website uses frames. I have the following:

<frame src=&quot;top_frame.html&quot; name=&quot;frmMenu&quot; id=&quot;frmMenu&quot; frameborder=&quot;0&quot; scrolling=&quot;no&quot; noresize marginwidth=&quot;0&quot; marginheight=&quot;0&quot; target=&quot;contents&quot;>

Is there a difference in what name= vs. id= do? If there is a difference what are they?

If there is no difference do you know why there are two variables that do the same thing?

Thank you.

it was something that was added as html progressed, now we use the two for backwards compatibility.

aaronjme,

Thank you for the reply. I thought that it was something like that. They both do the same thing for how I use them.

Thank you.
