I'm a little surprised this isn't more of a high priority item... I know Repeaters et al might need some special casing, but could the "usual" cases do what the coder probably expects, i.e. if you specify in html markup, that id is preserved (and therefore usable in javascript's getElementById ??) Or... I'm not sure what else might depend on that Id as it gets spit out into what's finally sent to the browser, but maybe there could be a some kind of mapping function in javascript, .getElementByWicketId(id)? and getRepeaterElementByIdAndIterationNumber(id,num) (I tend to make my function names a bit long :-) As a thinking point, my group has come up with 3 possible workarounds until the real solution appears: * temporary, awful hack bandaid currently in use: our javascript getElementById added a "6" to the id... the fragile nature of this "fix" is not lost on us * go through some function along the lines of getElementByPrefixOfId() , so we can get what was specified * every form has a hidden field like <input type="hidden" name="OUR_ID" value="XYZ">, and then we have a specific getFormByOurId() Again, I'm not sure what getMarkupId(Component) is called by, if it's mostly wicket internal use or what... most of what I've talked about here is javascript workarounds, though i guess the underlying Java equivalents should be obvious. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
