If I absolutely, positively must have an `id` for something where the value might start with a digit, I simply put an 'x' in front of it, then use `.substring(1)` later to get the real value. But that's only if I really need an ID. As Richard said, usually one doesn't need or want to assign an ID to every row in a table... -- T.J. :-) On Apr 3, 8:14 pm, Joschi Cassel <josch...@gmail.com> wrote: > I do recall that now.
