Use id instead of name in onechunk?
Hi:

    

    I'd like to generate the following HTML. Note the presence of the ID
    attribute.

    <div class="section" title="Getting
        Started">

                  <div class="titlepage">

                      <div>

                          <div>

                              <h2 class="title"
        style="clear: both">

                                  <a id="gettingStartedTopic"></a>Getting
        Started

                              </h2>

                          </div>

                      </div>

                  </div>
    from the following XML

    <section
        id="&idGettingStarted;">

              <title>Getting Started</title>
    

    As you know, the ONECHUNK stylesheet generates the following HTML.
    Note the presence of the NAME attribute.

    

    <div class="section" title="Getting
        Started">

      
                    <div class="titlepage">

      
                        <div>

      
                            <div>

      
                                <h2 class="title" style="clear:
        both">

      
                                    <a name="gettingStartedTopic"></a>Getting
        Started

      
                                </h2>

      
                            </div>

      
                        </div>

      
                    </div>
    
    

    The issue is that I want to present this document using _javascript_.
    There exists no "getElementByName" that is the equivalent of the DOM
    query method getElementById(). 

    

    As a workaround, I run the generated HTML through a post-processor
    to replace all name attribute names with the id
    attribute name.

    

    tia,

    jec
