Are there any _javascript_/DOM gurus out there who can tell me why the html page below does not behave as expected?

Below is the html being tested.

=====================

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>
<!DOCTYPE html
PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en">
<head><title>_javascript_ DOM Experiments</title></head>
<body>
<p id='m'></p>
<a id='a'></a>
<script type='text/_javascript_'><!--//
var d = document;
var m = d.getElementById('m');
var a = d.getElementById('a');

var a = d.getElementById('a').getAttribute('id');
gives me the 'id'. From there I can create the 'id' of the desired tag, which solves my immediate problem.

I'm still curious as to why the <a> behaves differently???

I don't know for sure why it behaves like wise but you can find here:
http://www.w3schools.com/HTMLDOM/dom_obj_anchor.asp
a list of properties you can call by using:

var a = d.getElementById('a').Property;
or:
var a = d.getElementById('a').getAttribute('Property');
