Re: HTML Tidy bug?

James,

The value of the id attribute must be unique in a document 
(http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/struct/global.html#adef-id). (This constraint 
does not apply to the name attribute, because you need 'name' to indicate 
that these radio buttons are a set.) You could write something like this:

  <input type="radio" name="Rating" id="RatingHorrid" value="horrid">
  <input type="radio" name="Rating" id="RatingBad" value="bad">
  <input type="radio" name="Rating" id="RatingAverage" value="average">
  <input type="radio" name="Rating" id="RatingGood" value="good">
  <input type="radio" name="Rating" id="RatingGreat" value="great" 
checked="checked">


Regards,
Christophe Strobbe
