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></span></div><div> </div><div><font color="#ff007f" face="bookman old style, new york, times, serif" size="4"><i><b>Nancy</b></i></font> <br></div><div><font face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif">Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere. -- Dr. Martin L.

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> </blockquote></div> </div></body></html>
