I have a page I want to validate. W3C says it's valid XHTML Transitional but Tidy complains saying, "line 96 column 1 - Warning: <input> ID "__VIEWSTATE" uses XML ID syntax." The page is <http://www.provost.uiuc.edu>www.provost.uiuc.edu and because it has a XHTML DOCTYPE, I would think XML syntax should be just fine.

I am advising on this page so I don't have access to the files to change anything but wanted to research the complaint before reporting it. Any ideas what TIDY's problem is saying.

I thought preceding an ID with the double underscore might be the issue but would like a more technical explanation, particularly since W3C says it's valid.

Thanks in advance.

-Tim
