You're probably thinking of: http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/struct/links.html#h-12.2.3 "The id and name attributes share the same name space. This means that they cannot both define an anchor with the same name in the same document. It is permissible to use both attributes to specify an element's unique identifier for the following elements: A, APPLET, FORM, FRAME, IFRAME, IMG, and MAP. When both attributes are used on a single element, their values must be identical." Confusing, the "name" attribute on a form field ("input", "textarea", "select", etc) is different to the "name" attribute on a "a" or "form" element, so this rule does not apply to it. -- Benjamin Hawkes-Lewis -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
