Hi, I think, the behaviour of getElementById for documents with more same IDs could be specified in HTML5. DOM2 Core leaves it undefined: "Returns the Element whose ID is given by elementId. If no such element exists, returns null. Behavior is not defined if more than one element has this ID." MSDN says about this: "Returns a reference to the first object with the specified value of the ID attribute." http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms536437.aspx Seems for me browsers are doing same as MSDN for static pages, and this is probably the logical behaviour. I have even heard it returns the htmlcolection in some library, which sounds confusing. Martin Hassman -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
