Specification: http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/multipage/elements.html Multipage: http://www.whatwg.org/C#the-id-attribute Complete: http://www.whatwg.org/c#the-id-attribute Referrer: http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/multipage/ Comment: id case sensitivity? some browsers do and some don't Posted from: 2601:7:f00:2ca:b011:20b5:a96c:ac11 User agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:30.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/30.0
I believe IE to be case insensitive on id attribute, and all others were case sensitive (which is better in my opinion). standardization would be nice here. example test: somefile.html#abc <p>insert lots of lorem ipsum here so id below is off-screen</p> <p id="ABC">ABC</p> IE will jump to the ABC. other browsers (chrome, safari, ff, opera) will do nothing because the id and the string after the # doesn't match.
Isn't the spec unambiguous on this point?
(sent e-mail to request clarification)
I should have posted this to IE feedback instead of here. since's it's not a bug in the spec and instead in a browser, maybe this should be closed. my error.
Okie dokie! Thanks for the update!
