Difference between id and name attributes in HTML

The name attribute is used when sending data in a form submission. Different controls respond differently. For example, you may have several radio buttons with different id attributes, but the same name. When submitted, there is just the one value in the response – the radio button you selected.

Of course, there’s more to it than that, but it will definitely get you thinking in the right direction.
