The first line of that function is already included in the plugin
I know, that's where I got it from.
but not generating IDs. Sounds like a good idea, I'll investigate that.
Here's something to start you off:
function generateId(element) {
if(element.id) {
// Element already has an ID, so just return that
return element.id;
} else {
// Element doesn't have an ID, so give it one
// Take the element's name and strip out everything that's invalid
// (only a-z, A-Z, 0-9, " - ", " _ ", " : ", and " . " are allowed
in IDs)
// TODO: IDs must start with a letter
// Example: bday[month] -> bdaymonth
var genId = element.name.replace(/[^a-zA-Z0-9\-_:\.]/g, "");
element.id = genId;
return genId;
}
}
Thanks again for your input, helps a lot!
No problem, dude! Glad I could help.
