Must <input type="submit ...> have a name attribute?

Hi!

Must <input type="submit ...> have a name attribute?

Thanks

As far as I know, the use of the name attribute in this case is to allow for multiple submit buttons. I'm not 100% positive on that though.

So unless you need multiple submit buttons--actually, input elements with the type set to "submit" but you get the idea (for example if you have multiple forms on a page) you won't need it.

No, it doesn't. If you have multiple submit buttons in a form, you'll want to name them, though, in order to tell which button was used to submit the form. Just as Dan said.

Oh, now you show up, Tommy . So this is what I get for holding the fort until the cavalry arrives?
