HTML Input name Attribute

Definition and Usage

The name attribute is used to identify form data after it has been submitted.
Unlike the unique id attribute, some input types share the same name attribute (mostly used with the type="radio" input).
This attribute is required with all input types, except type="reset" and type="submit".
Only elements with the name attribute specified will have their values sent by the form element.

Syntax

<input name="name/id" />

<input name="demo" />
