I'm sorry if it came out offensive, that definitely was not my intent.
anyway, it is not that MR is binding for name rather than id.
the thing is that the browser itself is sending the data to the server as
name=value pairs. the id play no role in the "send form data" game.
so my point was that your question was actually a general HTML forms
question, not a MR one.
and Id strongly suggest that you put the formhelpers aside for a while, as
they are a leaky abstraction over the html input elements, which is
important to understand deeply before considering such abstraction imo.
