Well, the difference is that they can deal with that any way they like; including just going by the first/last occurence, thus in fact ensuring uniqueness in the DOM. Parser introduced duplicate ids require moving the handling of duplicate ids to when you're trying to use them for referencing an element; with solutions such as giving a nodelist instead of a node as return value from getElementById, which would in most cases break the script anyway. -- David "liorean" Andersson <uri:http://liorean.web-graphics.com/>
