[WSG] naming a form so it validates?

[robert e. lee]

I have had a form up for a long time and it vallidates as xhtml 1.0 
transitional. But I have to wonder why it is that I can't get that last 
error fixed so it is strict...

I have a name attribute in the form tag, but I need it there due to the 
javascript validations necessary for client side checking, 
"name=surveyform".

I tried looking into the W3C specs for xhtml and tried alternatives like 
"id" but in the end gave up. So out of curiosity, what should I have used 
for this purpose?

Thanx in advance for any input.
