We probably have to point this out to the EG, since it is rather easy to fix this this should be fixed, after all to deal with those cases
is what the name attribute in inputs exists for.
It would be easy to have several viewState hidden fields
one per form with <formId>:javax.faces.ViewState and the name javax.faces.ViewState...

Hi,

in the past we did it in this way that we looking for the element only in the affected form.
So in the form there is only one element with the id javax.faces.ViewState.
It is also necessary that every form contains a hidden field with this id. So for JSF ok but it breaks the w3c standard and you can't use document.getElementById.
We've got a appropriate code snippet in the j4fry code.

    Hi Werner,

    2 elements with the same id truely brake the HTML standard. And it's
    true, with Mojarra 2.0 and 2 forms on a page I get 2 identical
    <input id="javax.faces.ViewState" type="hidden" value="j_id1:j_id2"
    name="javax.faces.ViewState"/>
    elements!

    Still, I'm not able to find this in the specs, can you please point
    me to the section you are referring to?

        The spec says that an element with the identifier
        javax.faces.ViewState has to be added to every form if it does
        not exist within the update phase if viewState itself is responded!


    Best Regards,
    Ganesh
