Hi, multiple fields should not have the same 'name' in a form. If you need first name for two parts of a form, then you should give a more explicit name to the input : ex. first name for shipping could be 'firstNameShip' and first name for billing could be 'firstNameBill' etc. The reason is because you should be using labels that are assigned through the 'for' attribute to an input, giving greater accessibility. This also makes for a more semantic name scheme than firstName1. DED
