Please note that this message will contain a full copy of the comment thread, including the initial issue submission, for this request, not just the latest update. Category: None Group: None Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Submitted By: Rutger Dijkstra (rutgerdijkstra) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: id atribute is non-unique Initial Comment: using the same value for the id-attribute of data declarations does not result in an error, the reference is simply overwritten (without even a warning). This is so grossly at odds with what one would expect from an id-atribute in an xml-document that i.m.h.o. this should be qualified as a bug. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Martin Aliger (maliger) Date: 2005-06-27 10:08 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=655297 This is by-design feature. IMO there is no need or custom in xml to have unique "id" attribute (oppossing to html standard). Reference overwriting could be handy feature in many situations. That should definitelly stay. We could discuss whether we rename "id" attribute to say "name" or something, which do not confuse our in-love-with-html audience, or not. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=402868&aid=1146192&group_id=31650 ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is sponsored by: Discover Easy Linux Migration Strategies from IBM.
