Please refresh my memory of CGI and forms. Are the names important, or the id's?

I always thought 'id' was just an attribute added to everything in the
XML world, by fiat, so you can identify any of them. And I thought
certain HTML things carried a 'name' to help transport the data within
them.

If so, that might explain why the tests would neglect something not
used by CGI. All legacy forms have unique names, so if the names work
then Watir will usually work. Except for nitwits like me who refuse to
learn basic CGI before leaping into naughty topics like AJAX!
