The button can be named as well. BUt why do you need a field to act as a 
button in the first place? If it is because you need to see the contents 
of the field on the button then there are other ways to accomplish that. 
like create and name a button. then put your field on top if it. Group 
them and assign a script to the group. parse the name of the button to 
the script as a variable.
