Yes, of course, Terry. I didn't mean to suggest that having multiple
IDs is a good idea.
I was just noting that the ID selector $('#TimelineContainer') will
not select "any" element with that ID.
It will only find one -- even if someone wrongly has more than one
element with the same ID.

id = name [CS]
This attribute assigns a name to an element. This name must be unique
in a document.
class = cdata-list [CS]
This attribute assigns a class name or set of class names to an
element. Any number of elements may be assigned the same class name or
names. Multiple class names must be separated by white space
characters.

Quick clarification. This will only select the first one it finds in
the DOM. To find any element with an id of "TimelineContainer," we'd
have to use the much slower $('[EMAIL PROTECTED]')
