According to the standards, <td> doesn't have a 'name' attribute and neither does <tr> or <table> as a matter of fact. IE supports it, Opera doesn't, Firefox doesn't. IE is infamous of supporting non standard things.

The only thing you can do is to replace each occurrence of 'name' with 'id' attribute since each element supports the 'id' attribute.

See this example to know more:

<html>
<head>
    <script type="text/javascript">
    function doName(name)
    {    
        alert("ID: " + name.id);
        alert("Name: " + name.name);
    }
</script>
</head>
<body>
    <table id="TABLE" name="TABLE" onclick="doName(this);" border="1">
    <tr id="TR" name="TR" onclick="doName(this);">
        <td id="TD" name="TD" onclick="doName(this);">CLICK ON ME</td>
    </tr>
    </table>
</body>
</html>
