Form validation with name containing '-' character

[Corinne Krych]

Hello

When my form name is friend-u validation doesn't apply. Changing it to friend is ok. However I need dash in my form name. Is it a know issue?
I couldn't find it...

Here's an example comparing forms with and without a hyphen in their name: http://jsfiddle.net/davemerrill/nEPLL/2/

Far as I can tell, the visual highlighting works either way, but I don't know how to access the form in code with a hyphen in the name. It may not actually be possible, because the form name isn't a valid js variable name. There may be some bracket notation way to access it, but I don't know what it'd be.

What makes you need the hyphen there? The name of a form isn't seen by the server, it isn't even required except for angular validation. Can't think of a functional requirement that would make the hyphen mandatory.

Thks 

I diddn't understand that actually form name is used as js variable name. Make sense then.

I will not struggle for that details and go the way you suggested with camel case. It's just I find the code nice with snake case in HTML

Thks for your help

However things are built inside Angular, any expression involving "friend-u" looks to js like "the value of friend minus the value of u". Nothing about that syntax distinguishes between those two meanings.
