Hi,

      
You can set the stylesheet parameter
          'generate.id.attributes' to 1 to get that result.  That causes
          the stylesheet to generate id attributes instead of named 

    
    
    
      
anchors.

    Hi Bob:

      

      Thanks for the quick reply! And I
          thought I'd seen all the stylesheet
            parameters...

      Hi:

      

      I'd like to generate the following HTML. Note the presence of the
      ID attribute.

      <div class="section" title="Getting
          Started">

                    <div class="titlepage">

                        <div>

                            <div>

                                <h2 class="title"
          style="clear: both">

                                    <a id="gettingStartedTopic"></a>Getting
          Started

                                </h2>

                            </div>

                        </div>

                    </div>
      from the following XML

      <section
          id="&idGettingStarted;">

                <title>Getting Started</title>
      

      As you know, the ONECHUNK stylesheet generates the following HTML.
      Note the presence of the NAME attribute.

      

      <div class="section" title="Getting
          Started">

                    <div class="titlepage">

                        <div>

                            <div>

                                <h2 class="title"
          style="clear: both">

                                    <a name="gettingStartedTopic"></a>Getting
          Started

                                </h2>

                            </div>

                        </div>

                    </div>
      

      The issue is that I want to present this document using
      _javascript_. There exists no "getElementByName" that is the
      equivalent of the DOM query method getElementById(). 

      

      As a workaround, I run the generated HTML through a post-processor
      to replace all name attribute names with the id
      attribute name.
