Just noticed this and wanted to share. If you have a listbox control and set the Unique Identifier starting with a number, the page will not load.


Not sure if this is done by design, but I know my old html built in 8.00.8 I could name starting with a number.

Food for thought.

See the following:

Tricks

If your code relies on HTML 4.xx specs then starting IDs with #s is not going to work. If your code is HTML5 compliant, then use #s up front to your heart's extent. Not sure why things got worse rather than better... Oh wait! ;-)

I came across this issue earlier this week.

I also discovered that JavaScript variables cannot start with a number. You can test the validity of your JavaScript variable name here: JavaScript variable name validator. The website shows that "ಠ_ಠ" is a valid variable name, but "1more" isn't.

Having been an old COBOL programmer since the 1970's, I never start variable names with numbers. It also drives me nuts when I see people creating word documents or windows folders with spaces in the names. It just feels so wrong.

I don't see the usefulness of starting an identifier or a variable with a number, anyway. A number doesn't describe anything, so I consider it a distraction. I find a number at the end of an alpha string very useful, however.

Are you saying that if you needed, say, a variable to specify whether your graphs should use 3D or not, you wouldn't think of naming it &3D?

No, I would name it &THREE_D.
