correct customer details field names

[unwashed potato!]

i've been told on here that the id's i use for the fields which collect customer details, such as first name, email, post code etc, are incorrect and that there is a standard to use so that autofill forms work better.

i've had a quick google and can't seem to find what the standard is so hoping you lot can help me out

Should tell you all you need to know. It's not the ids that are import, it's the name attribute and also ensure the label has a for attribute that links to name for accessibility.

Labels also work as wrappers like so:

<label>Some label text appearing before the element<input type="text" name="email"/>Some label text appearing after the element</label>

though usually you'd at least <span> the text.
