Form elements no worky in certain cases
Reported by swsnider (at gmail) | May 2nd, 2008 @ 01:36 AM
Basically, when trying to update multiple form elements using evalScripts and AjaxUpdater, the elements without name attributes are not updated correctly (due to the prototype cache (I think)). Either this needs to be documented, or (more probably) this needs to be changed -- it is common for input elements not to have name attributes when exclusively used for AJAX calls.

Please provide a code snippet or code example.
Elements should be referenced by their unique ID's and not their names.

A snippet is in the works (I need to distill the code down to a minimal snippet. My point is that we are not using the names (which is why the elements do not have them). Our problem is that prototype is using the names in some sort of cache array, which is screwing up our code in wierd ways.

Does this happen in IE only, if so I think it may be an IE issue...
Will be able to tell more when the snippet is ready :).

Please update when you have a proper test case.
