In addition, it's worth of note that whenever something has a name attribute
it that will show up as a variable in your script. More or less.
One question though. Why does your <form> have a name attribute at all? And
naming it the same as a variable, for whatever reason, isn't a good idea if
for no other reason than it's confusing. It got a weird look from me...not
that that makes it very unusual...
