The reason for the previous question is when calling the object, I guess that is somethng that is done, one can either call the object by var or the id. I guess, correction, one does not call an object but attempt to modify it in accordance with some legitimate purpose in the script.

In your example:

var myName;

myName is the name or identifier of the variable, because when you refer to any value inside myName, you would use 'myName', e.g.

alert ( myName );

If you execute

myName = "Tut2.1"

"Tut2.1" is the VALUE (not the identifier). You might have confused DEFINING the variable with the definition (which is the value) as the identifier.

IDs are a completely different thing, they're to do with HTML attributes.

Thank you.

It seems that you are saying that a variable is used to identify an object and the variable can be given a name and that is the identifier. So you said:

var myName; This is the declaration of the variable

myName = "Tut2.1" Tut2.1 is the identifier. Then, is the identifier also known as the id?
