Javascript Solutions
Solution 1 - Javascript
$('[name="ElementNameHere"]').doStuff();
jQuery supports CSS3 style selectors, plus some more.

Solution 2 - Javascript
You can use:
jQuery('[name="' + nameAttributeValue + '"]');
this will be an inefficient way to select elements though, so it would be best to also use the tag name or restrict the search to a specific element:
jQuery('div[name="' + nameAttributeValue + '"]'); // with tag name
jQuery('div[name="' + nameAttributeValue + '"]',
document.getElementById('searcharea')); // with a search base
Solution 3 - Javascript
it's very simple getting a name:
$('[name=elementname]');

Solution 4 - Javascript
jQuery("[name='test']")
Although you should avoid it and if possible select by ID (e.g. #myId) as this has better performance because it invokes the native getElementById.
Solution 5 - Javascript
You could always do $('input[name="somename"]')
