Small patch to allow input name defining

As FCKEditor uses ID for field detection, and ID cannot contain [] chars (good if you want to exploit PHP's automatic array creation), I have made the following small patch to allow defining the name value for the value form element and ID separately:

You can set $fck->FieldName to differ from the ID value.

Re: Small patch to allow input name defining

Same patch, but for those who use FCKEditor straight from javascript. (prepared on version 2.6.4)
