In fact i know of one situaion where you DO NOT want name and id the same ..... Scenerio is several input areas that have similar data to be verified by javascript prior to submission (say a set of mail addresses) by using the same name vale on each entry area, they can be checked as an array of that name ... makes repeated validity checks a simple for loop i use this often ... and of course if the name values were forced to be unique then there is no array and no point to having both name/id attributes Methinks Amaya should remove this artificial constraint from the program as it has no validitiy in major purpose of Amaya (ie ensuring recommendation conformance) Hi Irène, Irene Vatton escribió: > Within XHTML documents, the name attribute value must be duplicated into the > id attribute. So the following restriction is applied: > The W3C validator does not follow this rule (name attribute must be duplicated into id attribute). The following source code is checked as valid XHTML 1.0 Strict: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?> <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <head> <meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" /> <title>test</title> <meta name="generator" content="Amaya, see http://www.w3.org/Amaya/" /> </head> <body> <p>Text: <input type="text" name="text[1]" /></p> </body> </html> So, is it a bug of the W3C Validator?
