I see it as a defect of htmlunit and would recommend you to open an issue by htmlunit for it: htmlunit already accepts some unstandard stuff supported by browsers and this one could/should be supported too. Perhaps would it be interesting to have the possibility to run tests with a "strict" client too. If you open an issue, it would be interesting to see what is returned by standard browsers when both forms have a field with such a name. > Thanks so much for your timely help!
