The earlier methods would all work. Another option is <a href="http://api.drupal.org/api/drupal/includes%21common.inc/function/drupal_html_id/7">drupal_html_id($id).</a><br><br>"This function ensures that each passed HTML ID value only exists once on the

Many people don't realize that the ID is actually a text field in the database, so they just use a numeric counter, as the Block module does. For the Block module, that's probably the best alternative to avoid duplication. In my modules, I prefer an alpha descriptor (or "delta") as that gives me a reminder of what the block is supposed to do. So, for an example, the Weblinks module could have "block-weblinks-random".<br>

Thank you Michael, that was helpful. In other words, the block ID is<br>generated programmatically by the block module? It would seem to me<br>that the footer message would use a more "recognizable" id than<br>
"block-block-1" - as in my case - being IDed as the first block<br>entered/saved...<br> </div></div> </div> </blockquote></div> </div></div><br>--<br>
