[SOLVED] html validation error with sidebar used twice on page
 

If I use the same sidebar twice on the same page (which I'm doing), I get an html validation error because Montezuma is giving the same id name to both <aside> tags. The html validator says:

What slider is it

(I'm guessing this is your question.)
<?php dynamic_sidebar( 'image-gallery' ); ?>

It's producing this line of code each time I put that widget on a page:

The obvious hack is to make a different sidebar with a duplicate widget in it, but maybe there's a better way.

Thanks.

If you are creating two widget areas you need to name them differently. You should use
and

I did it, as, I think you intended, in the above modified code. It worked, and I knew it would, but I was hoping there was a way to reuse the code without making a copy.

Thanks.

Well, it's even better now. When I was repeating the code, the row of random images at the bottom could include some of the same images that were in the top row. Since I had to use a different sidebar at the bottom, I figured out a way to make the second row of random images not include any that were in the top row, and the code is much cleaner. It's shown here.
