how to assign value to a button's name from a function

[john_woo]

Hi,

I'm wondering whether the following is possible:

function getName()
return "a name";

<input type=button onclick="a_function();" value="getName();" />

what I want is to assign the button's name value from calling a
function.

No. The HTML parser doesn't execute Javascript.
What are you really trying to do? It's hard to tell because
a) if the input has a NAME attribute, it will be accessible
by anything that can see the VALUE attribute.
b) the input in your example doesn't even have a NAME attribute.

a_function(something) {
do some work
....
var b = document.myForm.myButton;
b.value = b.value=='getName'? 'sendName' : 'getName';
}
