Should be “id”, so as not to give the false impression of a constant or 
constructor.

“document.images[…]” is probably faster than document.getElementById(…), not 
operating on as large an HTMLCollection.  It is also more precise and self-
descriptive.  

However, using an ID (“id” attribute value of “img” elements) instead of a 
name (“name” attribute value of “img” elements) is not backwards-compatible 
to DOM Level 0.
