Hi :)

The problem was, there was no text at all in the bioBox. If there is no text at all, this will make the bioBox not show up at all when logged out.

My question was: Why if you are not supposed to use the div id biobox did it work when I used it?

There was no text in her bio prior to that.

There was no text in her bio prior to that.Smugmug decides based upon the content of the bioBox, if the bioBox is showed or not on the homepage. If there is atleast one character in there, it will be showed. If not, it won't be showed, so people viewing the site won't see an empty bioBox. When logged in, it always shows, so the person log in, can change text if desired.

So, it worked correctly, because you put text in the bioBox. The problem was with the name you used. On one page there can only be one div with an ID (but more with the same class). Since SmugMug already assigns the ID "bioBox" to the box containing the biography, you cannot use it again. That's a XHTML/CSS thing, has nothing to do with smugmug really.

Example, say you want to put 3 elements in your header; not allowed: <*div id="my_header"><*/div><*div id="my_header"><*/div><*div id="my_header"><*/div>
allowed:<*div id="my_header1"><*/div><*div id="my_header2"><*/div><*div id="my_header3"><*/div>
or<*div class="barb"><*/div><*div class="barb"><*/div><*div class="barb"><*/div>

Thx Ivar for the explanation.

It comes down to the fact that the spec says you can't have more than one ID per page but most browsers will let you do it anyhow. I think there could possibly be more detrimental effects for javascript than for the page display. Is that true Lee or Ivar?
