That's actually closer to the HTML spec, so I call it a "feature." According to HTML 4, id attributes are supposedly be _globally unique_ for a document. Not just within the table, or even within similar table markup. There should only be one element in the entire page that has any given id attribute value. Two elements with the same id attribute value is a violation of the HTML 4 standard. Therefore, I consider it appropriate for HPR to only consider the first instance of an id identifier as legit. --Kynn -- Kynn Bartlett <kynn@reef.com> Technical Developer Liaison Reef North America Accessibility - W3C - Integrator Network Tel +1 949-567-7006 ________________________________________ BUSINESS IS DYNAMIC.
