The quality of an element having a unique identifier is not accomplished at
all through the name of the attribute, only through the type of the attribute.
I suspect your document type definition in your document type declaration
is missing even just a single line to declare the attribute as being of
type ID.
I often add something along the lines of the following to my documents to
get the ID to work:
<!DOCTYPE doc
[
<!ATTLIST my-element id ID #REQUIRED>
]
<doc>.....
or:
<!DOCTYPE sales
[
<!ATTLIST customer custNo ID #REQUIRED>
]
<sales>.....
I hope this helps.
