Phoca Forum

I have three instances of Phoca Gallery Random Image Module on a page (each from different galleries) using Modules Anywhere plugin and when I ran it through the validator, I got this error message

# Error Line 949, Column 82: ID "phocagallery-module-ri" already defined

…> Modules Anywhere >>> --><div id ="phocagallery-module-ri" style="text-align

An "id" is a unique identifier. Each time this attribute is used in a document it must have a different value. If you are using this attribute as a hook for style sheets it may be more appropriate to use classes (which group elements) than id (which are used to identify exactly one element).

I looked for where I could give each a unique div id but do not see how. Is there an easy solution for this? I guess I could live with it, since it does work, but I would like this site to pass validations.

Any thoughts?

Hi, I will take a look at it, I think, the id is need for some javascript so there can be problem with more instances for validator but not for the site.

Jan,

Thanks for the response. I appreciate the great component and your work.

Yeah, I figured I would have to remove the other two instances or just accept the validation error for now anyway. I'm trying to figure out why exactly it is considered an error as it does appear to work properly in Firefox, IE and Safari.

My research on this topic has yielded me responses which are the equivalent of "It's an error by definition, and that's all you need to know pal!"
