Hi,

No, the `name` and `id` attributes have completely different
purposes. A form field must have a `name` attribute to be sent as
part of the form (this is an HTML thing, not a Prototype thing). The
`id` attribute is unrelated to forms, it's used for addressing
elements (looking them up in JavaScript or using them as anchors).
HTH,
