My weekly id/name/input/fieldset/form XHTML Strict question.
Just having a bit of a discussion, and have been talking about various different things to the point where confusion is setting in, so set me straight people: XHTML elements should only need an id, and not a name. However, FORM elements need a name? |

I believe, and someone will correct me if I'm wrong I hope, that name is deprecated for all elements except FORM. FORM elements need a name to pass their variables to the right place. I think. |

I can tell you that form submissions using fields without name attributes do not register those fields with the when using IE5.5. Also, for some kinds of forms, like Radio, you need more than one Radio buttons with same name in order to group them. but id must be unique. |
