Squish for Web uses two distinct naming schemes¶

One naming scheme is hierarchical names, for example:

DOCUMENT.HTML1.BODY1.FORM1.DIV6.DIV1.DIV1.TABLE1.TBODY1.TR1.TD1.DIV1.DIV
1.TABLE1.TBODY1.TR1.TD2

The other scheme is based on multi-property names, for example:

{"id": "input_person_last_name", "name": "person_last_name", "tagName": "INPUT", "type": "text"}

Only some known HTML types will generate multi-property ("real") names: form elements, links, clickable images, and similar. Everything else gets a hierarchical name based on its DOM path.

You can change a DOM name to a multi-property name if you want, but you must do this by hand. If you do this you must use the tagName property, or else the object map lookup won't work.
