IHTMLTextAreaElement::get_name

HRESULT get_name(
    BSTR *p 
);

Retrieves the name of the TEXTAREA element.

• Returns S_OK if successful, or an error value otherwise.

p

Address of a string variable that receives the name.

The name is used to bind the value of the control when submitting a form. The name is not the value that is displayed in the entry field of the element. Submitting the form submits the internally stored value, not the one displayed.

JScript allows the name to be changed at run time. This does not change the name in the programming model, in the collection of elements, but does change the name used for submitting elements.
