Question

I kinda get confused with using IDs. Can I use this code to add a hidden field? Where I’m using the same ID for the hidden field that I use in the “course” text field?

<div class="form-item left">
  <label for="course"><span class="req">*</span>Course</label>
    <input type="text" class="text" id="course" name="course" />
    <input type="hidden" id="course" name="school" value="Contacted from Student 
 sign-up  page" />
</div>

Thx

IDs must be unique in an HTML document. You should only use an ID once.

The id attribute specifies its element’s unique identifier (ID).

If you want to build some “connection” between the fields, consider using class or a data- attribute.
