Yep, got that, all understood. But I think you're missing my point. Let me try again... When you create Tiddler A with <$edit-text id="whatever" ...> and you subsequently RE-USE that content via transclusion in Tiddler B {{Tiddler A}} then you will have broken the rules -- there will be TWO elements with id="whatever" in the document. *The id attribute MUST be unique across the document* (not including any sub docs, like iframe documents). I suspect Jeremy doesn't use ids for this very reason. Unless you're happy creating tiddlers that cannot be used in the normal way, sorry, but this is very likely a non-starter. The spec: *When specified on HTML elements <https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/infrastructure.html#html-elements>, the id <https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/dom.html#the-id-attribute> attribute value must be unique amongst all the IDs <https://dom.spec.whatwg.org/#concept-id> in the element's tree <https://dom.spec.whatwg.org/#concept-tree> and must contain at least one character. The value must not contain any ASCII whitespace <https://infra.spec.whatwg.org/#ascii-whitespace>. * https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/dom.html#the-id-attribute MDN: *The id global attribute <https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Glossary/global_attribute> defines an identifier (ID) which must be unique in the whole document. * https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Global_attributes/id -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWikiDev" group.
