ID clash in 'Link Categories/Post Tags' Page

[Utkarsh]

There are 2 elements each with the ID 'name', 'slug' and 'description' in wp-admin/edit-link-categories.php For this reason, the <label> for these items in the Add Link Category part do not point to the respective input boxes.

Leaving this at Milestone 3.0. Right now I don't want to change any compatibility with 2.9.x series.

wp_insert_term() expects description and slug. I don't see any mapping from link_description and link_slug back to description and slug.

The Edit tags page suffers from this same issue i think.

Its the Table column headers which are conflicting i think, Probably best to give them the id of 'column-$column' instead of modifying the form?

Ok. :-) Working on it.

Replying to dd32:

I looked into this before. All the javascript code would have to be changed to reflect that and it's more than just these two pages that use the same javascript.

Is there a need to change the Fields Names? Its the ID's which are conflicting.

I'm not 100%, But from what i can see, its only the field Labels which are using the ID's.

I'm going to commit a change to the ID's, if people can test and report if they notice anything odd, that'd be appreciated.

(In [13852]) Change form field ID's to prevent ID clashes with listing table column headers. See #11937

the HTML Validator doesnt mention any issues on the affected pages, and functionality seems to be working still.

Closing as fixed, Re-open if this has caused a bug.
