Forgive me, but yes (I my opinion) you did. Is this forum for a ruby framework that is exclusively for IE? And doesn't ALL the tests that are written and run, run in IE? This thread was started by a question about how to handle duplicate element ID's on a page--a behavior allowed in IE--and that is done by using the 1 based object index. Wouldn't that make almost everything--at the very least indirectly--about IE?
And for the record IE does not rely on the ID property but the index (ordinal position) to guarantee object uniqueness. That would make it by design. Here is the quote right from MS DHTML reference for the element property ID: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/workshop/author/dhtml /reference/dhtml_reference_entry.asp "The id should be unique throughout the scope of the current document. If a document contains more than one object with the same identifier, the objects are exposed as a collection that can be referenced only in ordinal position." --Mark -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Bret Pettichord Sent: Tuesday, October 24, 2006 7:37 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Wtr-general] Question from a newbie Cain, Mark wrote: > Excuse me but aren't we talking about IE here? Not that i was aware of. My understanding is that the topic at hand was whether the HTML generated by a web application was conformant to WC3 standards and whether non-conformance should be considered a bug. This has nothing to do with IE. If you want to start a new topic that criticizes IE, then go ahead. But i don't understand that to be relevant to the existing thread. Did i miss something in the discussion?
