Try to change id to name
Because Id must unique in one application .
So if you have id in class when we create object from that class id will duplicate. :)

but it is not allowed get the value by "name".

I think that You must use this.r1 instead of r1 alone.

I am not understanding the difference between the "id" and "name". would you pls give me some advise?

name is a local identifier while ID is global

If you give it an ID you can refernece it much easier throughout your page which is why it must be unique. Local referencing requires parent.parent.etc
