The following (which will be attached as a test case) first document.writes a
couple of span elements with the same name attribute (a2ndSpan), then creates a
couple of span elements with document.createElement and sets the .name attribute
property of those elements all to the same value (aSpan).
While the document.written spans are found by document.getElementsByName, the
dynamically created spans are not.
<html>
<head>
<title>
document.getElementsByName
</title>
<style>
span { border: 1px solid green; }
</style>
</head>
<body onload="alert(document.getElementsByName('a2ndSpan').length);
alert(document.getElementsByName('aSpan').length);">
<script>
var n = Math.floor(Math.random() * 10) + 1;
var html = '';
for (var i = 0; i < n; i++)
html += '<span name="a2ndSpan">a2ndSpan ' + i + '. <\/span>';
document.write(html);
</script>
<br \/>
<script type="text/javascript">
for (var i = 0; i < n; i++) {
var span = document.createElement('span');
span.name = 'aSpan';
span.appendChild(document.createTextNode('aSpan ' + i + '. '));
document.body.appendChild(span);
}
</script>
</body>
</html>

Possibly related:
Look at http://www.w3.org/TR/2000/WD-DOM-Level-2-HTML-20001113/html.html
It says that SPAN only implements the HTMLElement interface. This interface does
not include a name property....

Replace:
span.name = 'aSpan';
with:
span.setAttribute('name', 'aSpan');
and this should work, INVALID.
