I'm working on updating some pages for a client that include Flash. The
pages have both OBJECT and EMBED tags. The ID for the OBJECT tag is
mirrored by the EMBED's tag NAME attribute.

quirksmode.org reckons that getElementsByName gives 'incorrect' results
for 4 of the 6 browsers that was tested. Is there a reliable way to
refer to the EMBED by its NAME?

DOM Level 0
document.embeds['embedName']
should do better that getElementsByTagName.
