I notice Dreamweaver creates a name attribute automatically with the same value as id, which I wouldn’t have thought to do. I read this question asking the difference between name and id attributes in HTML, but what about where it applies to images?

    name is an attribute included for scripting backwards compatibility and should be of no use today.

    http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/struct/objects.html#edef-IMG

    name = cdata [CI]
    This attribute names the element so that it may be referred to from style sheets or scripts. Note: This attribute has been included for backwards compatibility. Applications should use the id attribute to identify elements.
