only last checkbox item showing in email form

[mr_l_k]

i cant believe im having to ask this but my email form is only showing the last checkbox that was "ticked"

this is the code in the form:

<td class="whitetext">Villamartin</td>
<td><input name="course" type="checkbox" id="course" value="Villamartin"></td>
<td>&nbsp;</td>
<td class="whitetext">Alenda</td>
<td><input name="course" type="checkbox" id="course" value="Alenda"></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="whitetext">Las Ramblas</td>
<td><input name="course" type="checkbox" id="course" value="Las Ramblas"></td>
<td>&nbsp;</td>
<td class="whitetext">Alicante</td>
<td><input name="course" type="checkbox" id="course" value="Alicante"></td>
</tr>

etc (its a multiple option)

i know im missing something simple

Welcome to WebmasterWorld, mr_l_k.

Are you talking about in the browser display of your form? You are only seeing one option show? Did you try validating your page yet?

I can see one obvious issue ... you have multiple id attributes of the same unique name on 4 different input elements. The HTML Validator [validator.w3.org] will point out many issues for you quite quickly.

I think it possible your were tring for this:

<td class="whitetext">Villamartin</td>
<td><input name="Villamartin" type="checkbox" id="course" value="Villamartin"></td>
<td></td>
<td class="whitetext">Alenda</td>
<td><input name="Alenda" type="checkbox" id="course" value="Alenda"></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="whitetext">Las Ramblas</td>
<td><input name="Las Ramblas" type="checkbox" id="course" value="Las Ramblas"></td>
<td></td>
<td class="whitetext">Alicante</td>
<td><input name="Alicante" type="checkbox" id="course" value="Alicante"></td>
</tr>
