SQLFORM.factory creates a dummy DAL Table object with the fields submitted,
so you cannot use duplicate field names, as they are illegal in DAL tables.
Note, technically your form can have input elements with the same name, but
once the values are submitted to the server, the values will be joined
together in a single list. For example, if you have three fields with the
name "field1", request.vars.post_vars will be a list like [value1, value2,
value3].
What are you really trying to do?
