Just a question - I am using a XHTML 1.1 Strict DTD.

1.1 doesn't diverse between strict and others. There is just one 1.1 spec.

It seems that you cannot giveform elements or anchor elements a "name" this causes a few issues...

Not exactly...

#1 - anchors - when I have a SKIP TO CONTENT link.
It doesn't like the NAME I have given the <a>...
Isn't this the only *proper* way of anchoring inside the page???

No. #anchor-name skips also to <element id="anchor-name">

#2 - forms - when I have custom buttons (javascript: document.formnamehere.submit())
That doesn't work.

Sure. Because you should use DOM and again - it's sticked to ID (see getElementById() ...)


My problem is that form buttons don't look or act the same in all browsers, so I use a <a> styled like a button.

Not a good idea... (JS off, semantics, usability...)

I know <input> can have a name - because it works with <label>...

Eh, label binding shlould be again on ID... The name="" attrib on inputs it for the parametrizing / query. It's still send in the form of "action.url?name1=value1&name2=value2" etc.


Sorry if this has been discussed over and over

No problem, I just hope I'll show you the right way ;)
