HTML elements name

[Raj Puri]

I am developing an application that generates HTML on the fly driven by a database table. Do all text items on a HTML page need to have unique names. I am generating HTML based on field names of three or more tables. Till now, I was generating names for input text as database column names. But now, I see I have same columns names in more than one table. So by my logic more than on text fields may have same names. I guess that is not allowed by HTML?

<form name="Form1">
  <input type="text" name="txt" value="1.1">
  <input type="text" name="txt" value="2.2">
  <input type="text" name="txt" value="3.3">
  <input type="text" name="txt" value="4.4">
  <input type="text" name="txt" value="5.5">
  <input type="submit" name="sub1" value="submit">
</form>
<script type="text/javascript">
  alert(document.Form1.txt.length);
  alert(document.Form1.txt[0].value);
  alert(document.Form1.txt[1].value);
  alert(document.Form1.txt[2].value);
  alert(document.Form1.txt[3].value);
  alert(document.Form1.txt[4].value);
</script>
