ID istead of name

in Using jQuery • 11 years ago

Hi,

I'm using this script.

jQuery(document).ready(function($){
$("#frm1").validate({
debug: false,
rules: {
name: "required",
email: {
required: true,
email: true
}
},
messages: {
name: "Please let us know who you are.",
email: "A valid email will help us get in touch with you.",
},
});
});

<form id="frm1"><fieldset>
<ul>
<li>
<label for="name">Name:</label>
<input type="text" name="name" />
</li>
<li>
<label for="email">Email:</label>
<input type="text" name="email" />
</li>
<div id="results"><div>
<li>
<input type="submit" value="submit" />
</li>
</ul>
</fieldset>
</form>

The script works fine. But I would like to change something.

I would like this:

<input type="text" name="name" />

to become this:

<input type="text" id="name" />

If i change it, the validation does not work.

Is there a way to change this?

Thank you!!

Form elements must have a name to be able to submit, there is no reason ID and name can't be the same
