FN-FORUM: Textbox Naming Conventions

date posted 12th January 2005 14:08

Does anyone know what the conventions, or rules are for naming textboxes =
in an HTML form?

I'm setting up a form in which some of the textbox names begin with the =
same characters, but end differently, for example:

alpha_one_yellow
alpha_one_green
alpha_one_blue

...and so on. This is producing some strange results in the field =
values carried to the next page. Some values are duplicated from =
previous textboxes and some are missing entirely. If I change the =
textbox names so that they are all entirely different, everything works =
as expected.


Thanks,

Derek
