Question

I was thinking of writing some code in PHP to change all the ids of images to match their alts. Would this be easier to implement in jQuery?

What i need to do is take this line

img alt=”puzzle” src=”images/cole.jpg” alt=”This is me” style=”display:none;” />

and make it

img id=”puzzle” alt=”puzzle” src=”images/cole.jpg” alt=”This is me” style=”display:none;” />

Answer 1

Shift as much as possible to the server. Also what if the user has a javascript blocker on ?

But I would have to ask why would you want to do this?

ID and NAME tokens must begin with a letter ([A-Za-z]) and may be followed by any number of letters, digits ([0-9]), hyphens (“-“), underscores (“_”), colons (“:”), and periods (“.”).

But alt tags may have spaces, this means you could set a possibly invalid id!

EDIT

Now you have edited your answer:
That first img tag is invalid html, you cannot have 2 alt tags and jQuery will not be able to deal with it.
