Aha! I see what you mean.
>From the JS reference:
name .
A string specifying the checkbox's name.
Security JavaScript 1.1. This property is tainted by default. For
information on data
tainting, see the Client-Side JavaScript Guide.
Description
If multiple objects on the same form have the same NAME attribute, an array of
the given name is created automatically. Each element in the array represents
an individual Form object. Elements are indexed in source order starting at 0.
For example, if two Text elements and a Button element on the same form
have their NAME attribute set to "myField", an array with the elements
myField[0], myField[1], and myField[2] is created. You need to be aware
of this situation in your code and know whether myField refers to a single
element or to an array of elements.
