Problem with Id and name as form attributes

Hi,

I have a form like this:

<form method="post" action="/account/register" id="registrationform" name="registration">


I have two pieces of Java Script. One needs the id tag and the other needs the name. The one that needs name, needs it for something like:

document.registration.countryCode.value

If I take out the name it complains...

The problem is that if I am to follow strict XHTML guidelines I should be using either name or id but not both... any ideas?

Assuming 'countryCode' is a text element, you can access its value by:

document.getElementById('countryCode').value

in place of the 'document.registration.countryCode.value'

where
<input type="text" id='countryCode' name='countryCode' value='USA'>
