using radio buttons...should ID and NAME values be the same?

[spewn]

i have a quiz with 20 questions. each question has between 2 and 5 possible answers, with a radio button for each answer.

i have set up a question to demonostrate how each radio button goes:

do you like hot dogs?
<input type=radio id=question1 name=question1 value=q1yes>
<input type=radio id=question1 name=question1 value=q1no>
<input type=radio id=question1 name=question1 value=q1maybe>

the question comes up when i validate the html. it says that the ID 'question1' already has been assigned.

is it okay if i leave the id's the same?

No, Id's have to be unique, to keep the buttons in the same radio group, give them the same name for each in the group.
