Description

[Steve Lamm]

A have a box and a splitter that use a <menu>. That menu is filled out later in
the file. This worked yesterday.

<overlay>
  <box id="title-box">
    <menu id="panel-picker"/>
  </box>
  <splitter id="title-splitter">
    <menu id="panel-picker"/>
  </splitter>
  <menu id="panel-picker">
    ...
  </menu>
</overlay>

Hmm. I'm not aware of any XUL or RDF changes that went in yesterday, so I'm not 
sure why this would've broke. Is it really specific to Solaris?

It is not specific to Solaris. That just happens be where my browser is running
(so bugzilla picked it for me).

I will attach my sidebarOverlay.xul so you can take a look. It won't work
without the other files I have changed, but you can at least eye-ball it.

Attachment: sidebarOverlay.xul (look for "panel-picker")

Comment 4

[Steve Lamm]

It seems that only the last reference to "panel-picker" works. With both
references, the splitter reference works fine. If I take it out, then the one in
the box works.

Does my problem stem from using the same "id" twice?

Comment 6

[Chris Waterson]

Yes, you're probably right. I'm not sure what you meant by making all those 
id's be the same thing...

[Chris Waterson]
