Answer 2

The name attribute is used by the backend. When you submit a form, it is sent to the server as a hash (key-value pairs). The keys are the name attributes and the values are the inputs entered by the user.

<input name="username" type="text">
Can be accessed by the server by 'username', i.e. the name attribute.

As for id, it used when you are on webpage to access the different things on the webpage and make changes, for example, in CSS, "#username" will select a tag with an id "username"
