    <p>I think you misunderstood the workings of HTML forms. Every form element needs to have an unique name, except multiple checkboxes and buttons that allow you to choose one/multiple options for one data field.</p> <p>In your case, not only JQuery validation, but also a server-side form validator would fail, because it can't assign the inputs to the data fields. Suppose, you want the user to enter prename, lastname, e-mail-adress, fax (optional) and all your input fields have <code>name="map"</code></p> <p>Then you would receive these lists on submit:</p> <pre><code>map = ['Joe','Doe','joe.doeAThotmail.com','++22 20182238'] //All fields completed map = ['Joe','Doe','joe.doeAThotmail.com'] //OK, all mandatory fields completed map = ['Doe', 'joe.doeAThotmail.com','++22 20182238']//user forgot prename, should yield error </code></pre> <p>You see that it is impossible to validate this form reliably.</p> <p>I recommend to revisit the documentation of your perl form handler or adapt it if you wrote it on your own.</p>

    1. COWhile I broadly agree with you, that form variables should have distinct names, it is not a requirement of the HTML standard. Your example is right in its context - it would be silly to assign the same variable names to what are semantically distinct attributes. However in my case, I have a situation where I need to submit 4 values for what are semantically identical variables: Names of upto 4 children for example, where it makes perfect sense both semantically and standards-wise to give identical names and collect them into a server-side array. I trust you will reconsider your comment

    2. CODownvoted because each form element does NOT need to have a unique name. Only Ids need to be unique. And as Ya. Perelman said, there are many situations where it is perfectly semantic to have the same name for multiple elements.

    3. COBacking up the two previous comments - name does not need to be unique. For example, I have an application where each row in a table is saved when it is changed (ajax submission). The "foo" field in each row has a unique id but all have the name ("foo"). There is no problem server side since I just submit the active row, but the validate plugin only validates the first row. (I use a customer validation method, similar to the example for an accordian site on the validate plugin page). In my case the solution is to manually call .valid() on a collection of the elements from the active row.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
