Hi, Chris
As from W3C: "ID and NAME tokens must begin with a letter ([A-Za-z])
and may be followed by any number of letters, digits ([0-9]), hyphens ("-"),
underscores ("_"), colons (":"), and periods (".")."
But I'd avoid using underscore for id/class names... I've already had
intermitent bugs with IE6 because of it (specially for links).
Cheers,
Angela

Objet : [WSG] Valid characters in ID attribute
Hi,
I'm writing a function to do all manner of clever stuff and need to
create very complex ID attributes for links. As far as I know the only
valid characters you can use in an ID (and as a class name, too) are:
A-Z, a-z, 0-9, _, -
Is that true? Are there any other valid characters that I can use in my
IDs, without going the whole hog and creating a new DTD? Example of a
link, just to make it clear which bit I mean:
<a href="index.html" class="TheFunction"
id="TheFunction_%6237%6882/34_923%4623%4-234+6+3-2343">Click here to run
The Function</a>
Many thanks in advance
Chris
