Hi,

Is there a way to select an ID inside another ID
e.g.

<div id="div_one">
<a href="test.html" id="link">Test 1</a>
</div>
<div id="div_two">
<a href="test2.html id="link">Test 2</a>
</div>

As you can see both links have the same ID but can you still select them seperatly with document.getElementById(...)?

I don't think you can because id's have to be unique.
I'm not too sure though.

Correct

Element id attributes are unique just like pretty much any other id, its an identifier so there can't be duplicates.

Change the id's to a class, then loop through the elements in the divs using getElementsByTagName() and check the className's.
