Ladies and Gentlemen, I think we might have a winner. IE and
FireFox don't seem to complain about it but Macromedia states: "The
wicket:id attribute of the DIV tag is not supported [ list of browsers
]" which I think is fine because it complains that way about all other
wicket-specific tags.
Assuming we can prove 100% that this is legal XHTML and does
not violate the DTD (and we're not there yet) then this would totally
fix all our problems indefinately. We could always use "wicket:id" for
all wicket components, disallow the use of "id" (to prevent confusion),
and developers can optionally add an "id" to a tag but it would be up
to them to make sure it is unique across the page. For example, they'd
subclass one of our components and use an AttributeModifier to add an
ID tag for their personal use.
Optionally (although I think we should always do this) Wicket
would strip away all Wicket specific tags such that the resulting code
would be 100% valid HTML and it would not be obvious to people viewing
our source that Wicket was even used.
Where do we find out more conclusively whether wicket:id is
legal? Are there any good XHTML discussion forums?
