Question

When testing my html code in the W3 validator, I was given this error and warning message:

Line 21, Column 23: The first occurrence of ID menuItem was here.

<li id="menuItem"><a href="#visit">Ten Places to Visit</a></li>

✉
Line 29, Column 25: Duplicate ID menuItem.

<li id="menuItem"><a href="#Wrigley">Wrigley Field</a></li>

However, when I try removing the id="" part of the tag, so it reads <li menuItem> I lose the attributes of menuItem.

Should this type of error from the validator typically be ignored, or am I not correcting it properly?

Answer 1

Using same id multiple times is not valid. Try to use class instead of id (If you are using id to call only style)
