Best Practice for Naming the Id Attribute of Dom Elements

Question

This is related to naming conventions for a DOM element\'s id attribute and I guess the name attribute as well. When it comes to JavaScript, from what I understand and have done

Answer 1

Here are some naming guidelines that have helped me out with my ids and classes in the DOM:

• don't include the type in the name (ie, no txt or chk). I can select that info using CSS or jQuery much more descriptivlely
• use underscores as separators in the name. Hyphens don't always work out in other languages, and camel casing is a little tough to read in markup
