Check 185: id attribute is not unique.
Repair: Modify the id attribute value so it is unique.
Error Line 449, Column 3:
<body id="home" class="html-ltr lang-en-US">
    <div id="strings"
      data-global-close="Close"
  ...(download-button-desktop-release)


see the suggestions for it at http://achecker.ca/checker/suggestion.php?id=185

PS I used http://achecker.ca/checker/index.php and put in mozilla.org as the domain name
The download button is embedded twice on the home page: once in the promo grid and again in the gray section below the promo grid. The button macro includes an ID so when that macro repeats on a page it will repeat the ID as well.

If we don't actually need that ID for anything we could simply remove it.

The id value here always seems to be "download-button-desktop-release" from what I can tell, even when spoofing a mobile device such as Android or iOS using Chrome.

The only JS that actually uses this id is a couple of functional tests, which can just as safely test for .download-button so, we can more than likely just go ahead and drop the id altogether.

With that said, what are your thoughts Alex?

The functional tests only look for the class, so no issue there I think:

As Craig says, this is just the default ID for the download button passed via the template macro. We can simply change it so they differ, or remove the ID. Should make no difference.

Thanks for the feedback Alex. Some of the other functional tests do look for the id. I will fix that along with dropping the id from the element.

Oh, I had assumed fixing this bug would simply be removing the duplicate IDs from the home page, and not removing the property from the download button altogether?
I guess if we have no use for the ID dropping it from the download button macro might still be worthwhile? I can't see any references to it in either CSS or JS, but we should be sure to double-check.
I could not find any use of it anywhere other than in some of the functional tests.
