Bugs must be squashed! You said so yourself a bug is not to be backwards compatible.
This isn't really a bug but a design oversight, since it was figured two forms with the same field would never reside on the same page. I too have use for multiple same named fields, but since it doesn't break browsers and the app is internal I have not bothered with w3c validation. Then again, I have lots of CSS that is based around the ID field, so for me it requires making lots of little changes, so I am not supporting this change lightly, but being a bug and in the spirit of making web2py force w3c validity as much as possible I support it. -Thadeus On Wed, Jan 27, 2010 at 1:45 PM, mdipierro <mdipie...@cs.depaul.edu> wrote: > I agree it is a bug that ids may not be unique.
