Meaning

The name attribute allows a form control to be assigned a name for defining the name/value pair used in form submission.

These values were used by scripting languages or reference form data after a form is submitted, though the standards encourage the use of the id attribute. For compatibility purposes, both might have to be used.

Standard Syntax

<select name="uniqueName">
  <option>text</option>
</select>
