   I use 3 main Categories for my blogroll at 200feet.com - yet after upgrading to WP2.2 XHTML validation fails with the following Errors...

   1.  Error  Line 119 column 8: ID "links" already defined.
   
         <li id="links" class="widget widget_links"><h2 class="widgettitle">200feet digs.
   
         An "id" is a unique identifier. Each time this attribute is used in a document it must have a different value. If you are using this attribute as a hook for style sheets it may be more appropriate to use classes (which group elements) than id (which are used to identify exactly one element).
   
      2. Info Line 108 column 8: ID "links" first defined here.
   
         <li id="links" class="widget widget_links"><h2 class="widgettitle">'Ave a look a
   
      3. Error Line 135 column 8: ID "links" already defined.
   
         <li id="links" class="widget widget_links"><h2 class="widgettitle">200feet knows
   
      4. Info Line 108 column 8: ID "links" first defined here.

   I used to use the sidebar widgets plugin but am now using the native version.
   Is this because I am using 3 Categories for blogroll and not 1? Or is it related to my theme? It validated fine before WP2.2.
   Pls help..... I understand the basics but am def not a programmer.

   This is an unforeseen issue with some of the enhancements to the links widget. It's not critical, actually, but I'll put in a ticket anyway.

   Hi - thanks for checking for me and for doing that - I wasn't sure if it was me doing something wrong.
   I will keep an eye on it for progress.

   UPDATE!
   OK - something else to throw into the mix - is it related or should I start a different topic?
   Some of my other plugins using sidebar widgets have either stopped displaying their 'titles' (e.g. Martin Fitzpatrick's Adsense Manager), or are not saving the changes I make to the title in the configuration pop-up of the native widgets page (e.g. Andrew Ferguson's Countdown Timer).
   Related, or separate?

   I have the same problem with the sidebar widget and links.
   Is there a way I can fix this?

    sure, edit the function. do you know php?

    if not, bookmark the link to trac that otto provided and wait until it's addressed there.
