Good, because getElementsByName() almost certainly will not do that.

You are thinking of getElementsBy*Tag*Name(), I'm saying use
getElementsByName() to get just the (one) element that has that name.

You do care if the href is to an anchor, which is what this is all
about.

By "anchorvalue" I presume you mean the href value with the leading #
(if there is one) removed. It is more common to use a@name for
anchors, iUI's $ function expects an id. There is one browser that
can't tell id from name, but iUI doesn't work in that browser anyway.

I was expecting you to be using the name attribute, not id, hence my
suggestion to use getElementsByName(). If you are using id, then you
should specify that anchors must use id, not name.
