HTMLImageElement: name property
Deprecated: This feature is no longer recommended. Though some browsers might still support it, it may have already been removed from the relevant web standards, may be in the process of being dropped, or may only be kept for compatibility purposes. Avoid using it, and update existing code if possible; see the compatibility table at the bottom of this page to guide your decision. Be aware that this feature may cease to work at any time.
The deprecated name property of the HTMLImageElement interface specifies a name for the element. It reflects the <img> element's name content attribute. It has been replaced by the id property available on all elements, and is kept only for compatibility reasons.
Value
A string providing a name by which the image can be referenced.
Examples
Setting the name attribute
const img = new Image();
img.src = "example.png";
img.alt = "An example picture";
img.name = "example-img";
Instead of doing this, set the id property instead:
img.id = "example-img";
