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

One of the HTML gurus at my last job actually recommended delimiting multi-word IDs with dashes

I'm struggling to remember why - I don't have access to those internal standards documents anymore. I know that really doesn't answer your question about Pascal vs Camel casing, though.

I'd personally advise against using HN - I find it to be a largely abhorrent practice. What happens if you need to change your checkbox array to a select element instead? Now the element's ID has false semantics baked-in. It's just not worth the hassle, IMO.
