Change name-attributes in Tell-a-friend-form?

Question

When I use the tell-a-friend-form the form is autogenerated by the tag

{exp:email:tell_a_friend ...}

Now the name of the sender has to be "from", the name of the recipient has to be "to". Simplified example for the form generated:

<form method="post" action="http://www.xyz.com">
<input type="email" name="from">
...
</form>

Now it's important for me to change the names, because the Bootstrap-Validator astonishingly seems not to accept the same element-name twice on one page.

Is this possible or does anybody know a workaround?

Thanks in advance!

Not with the Tell A Friend form, no - these values are hard-coded, so you must submit an input with name="to".

I suppose you could use a different name, then use some javascript on form submission that clones that value into a new input named to.

Note that although you can have form inputs with the same name attribute across different forms in the same document, make sure they have different id attributes.
