The '.' is legal where it's being used, the problem appears to be that some JavaScript libraries don't correctly parse it but instead do something different.
On the one hand, this is just the autogenerated ids, as far as we can see at the moment, it's a 'safe' fix and (I think) anyone relying on the old behaviour has other options/is taking a risk, while on the other, it's adding 'magic' to work around third-party bugs. /Gwyn On Thursday, September 27, 2007, 9:58:47 AM, Johan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > we shouldn't generate illegal id's no matter what a developer gives us as > there componentid > or is that already taken care off?
