Is there guaranteed ordering on getElementsByName()?

Question

Are the values returned by Javascript's getElementsByName(...) guaranteed to be in the same order that they appear in the DOM?

Answer 1

with getElementsByName(name), the name is required, and thus the name order is irrelevent.

EDIT: I checked the specification and see nothing that would guarantee the order but I have never seen it OUT of order myself.
