The validator gave me an "already defined" error when I used IDs that differ by case only, but http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/struct/global.html#h-7.5.2 says "id = name [CS]," which means id is case sensitive and IDs that differ by case should be considered unique and not produce "already defined" errors. A similar case was discussed in the thread beginning at http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-validator/2001Jul/0016 and continuing at http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-validator/2001Jul/0046 .. At http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-validator/2001Jul/0075 it says the wording will be changed, but the wording at http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/struct/global.html#h-7.5.2 still doesn't tell me that can't use IDs that differ only by case. Am I looking at the wrong specification? I felt proud of myself for being able to find what seems to be the relevant part of the latest HTML specification by navigating the not so user friendly information starting at w3.org, but now I'm not so sure. P.S. Why haven't I been able to subscribe mail@polisource.com or barry@polisource.com to this or www-html@w3.org for the last few years? __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
