Affects: IE6, IE7
Setting the name attribute of an element in IE is complicated at best (bug 242). Using .setAttribute('name', 'someValue'); will fail in IE. The name attribute is ~readonly~ and can't be modified. However interestingly enough, if you do set this, if the name was applied to a form field, IE will send the correct parameter name on the POST/GET request.
It is highly recommended that you apply some version of the (bug 235) workaround to avoid this bug in IE.
Known Workarounds: One. Use the hack in bug 235.
