But that's 5 years during which a non standards-compliant browser has had 90% of the browser market...
I dont know of any browser which gets upset at the form name attribute! As a side note, why does struts set the form name? is it used anywhere? I cant see any reason to use the name tag atall. There's no need to use it with javascript anymore.
