Bad practice multiple elements with same ID?

Jezternz
145 New Member
Okay,
Basicly I want to style multiple input fields with a new border, background ect.
However when I use a class they do not change in FF, when I give them all the same ID they do change in FF. I am building a web application, however all elements are accessed through javascript references and I do not access anything via getElementById, so from my point I do not need them to have different ID's.
But I was wondering if it breaks or damages the DOM at all? is it bad practice? and does this make it invalid xhtml?

Thanks, Josh

No, Yes, Yes.

well, it's what an ID is about, an identifyer. ( I never had problem through styling with classes…)

Maybe you can show us how you're styling the classes?

Simple question... which is better to use for defining font sizes and why? px and em seem to be the leading candidates. I know what the general answer is going to be, but I'm hoping to ultimately get some good real world examples. Fire away! :) Regards, Peter Foti

Hi all, I'm looking for a way to "bind" multiple eventhandler function to the same event. In other languages this can often be done by using the += operator, unfortunately this doesn't seem to work. My (working) code for assigning an eventhandler for some form elements is: for( var i = 0; i < document.formx.elements.length; i++ ) { document.formx.elements.readonly = true;

We've all seen this structure many times: <ul> <li><a href="..." >Click here</a></li> <li><a href="..." >Click here</a></li> </ul> Now it's obvious good practice to have sensible link texts, and also sensible use of title attributes on either the<a> or <li> elements. What's a good rule of thumb for these attributes ?

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
