But is it more of a feature not present i.e. display of the "name"
field. Since there might be applications (e.g. the one I am
developing) that require such a feature to be present.

Okay, lets consider an HTML page for which I have the following snippet.

....
             <table border=0>
               <tr>
                 <td width="206" >
                   <p class="label">Contact Person</p>
                 </td>
                 <td>
                   <input type=text name="ContactP" size="31">
                 </td>
               </tr>

....

Since above is a table : Now in case I want to get the "name" field
i.e. "ContactP" (which describes the name of the field associated with
the field), then I dont have an option!! I would have to play around
with the code to get the value "Contact Person".

Dont find it the best possible solution though.

Comments please..
