Excuse me but aren't we talking about IE here? Isn't MS notorious for spec violations? Here are just a few for your reading pleasure: http://channel9.msdn.com/wiki/default.aspx/Channel9.InternetExplorerStan dardsSupport
And there is the whole backward compatibility thing too... BTW, I agree with you! I wish IE was stricter with the spec. It would make all of our automation activities much easier. I'm just saying... :-) --Mark -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Michael Bolton Sent: Monday, October 23, 2006 8:00 AM To: wtr-general@rubyforge.org Subject: Re: [Wtr-general] Question from a newbie Do I misread the HTML 4.01 spec (http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/index/attributes.html)? It says that ID is a "document-wide unique ID". The whole point of the ID tag is to have a unique ID, is it not? Doesn't having a non-unique ID defeat the purpose of having an ID altogether? I agree that the "name" attribute is apparently not subject to the same restriction, though. ---Michael B. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Cain, Mark Sent: October 23, 2006 10:20 AM To: wtr-general@rubyforge.org Subject: Re: [Wtr-general] Question from a newbie ---Michael B. wrote: >>Congratulations: you've found a bug.

If you get pushback, tell them (or the project manager) that the page as current constructed interferes with testability. If you get pushback, then use (:index, [some number]) to locate the appropriate element. _______________________________________________ Wtr-general mailing list Wtr-general@rubyforge.org http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/wtr-general _______________________________________________ Wtr-general mailing list Wtr-general@rubyforge.org http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/wtr-general _______________________________________________ Wtr-general mailing list Wtr-general@rubyforge.org http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/wtr-general _______________________________________________ Wtr-general mailing list Wtr-general@rubyforge.org http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/wtr-general
