Guidelines for Using the name Attribute

The name attribute should be unique and meaningful to clearly identify each form field and simplify data handling on the server side.

Ensure that each name attribute in your form is unique so that each data field can be individually identified.
Use meaningful names that relate to their function, making it easier to handle data on the server side.
