   Has anyone successfully used a jQuery script to add unique ids to all the elements in the DOM? Seems like this should work.

   Here is the script I tried in the document ready:

   
$("h1").each(function(index, element){$(element).attr("id", "h1-"+index);});
$("p").each(function(index, element){$(element).attr("id", "p-"+index);});
$("img").each(function(index, element){$(element).attr("id", "img-"+index);});
$("a.lightbox1").each(function(index, element){$(element).attr("id", "lb-"+index);});


   (Does the ID need to be unique across a page, or across the whole site?)

   I've also tried setting up jquery to add the cms-editable class:

   
$("h1").addClass("cms-editable");
$("p").addClass("cms-editable");
$("img").addClass("cms-editable");
$("a.lightbox1").addClass("cms-editable");


   Neither seem to add anything to the DOM in view source; the second script breaks the layout...

   Unfortunately, this approach will NOT work.

   The reason is that the IDs need to be present in the raw source of the file, and not just the post-processed DOM output in the browser.

   You could probably run a command line script to add the IDs. A user wrote one recently, though it's not 100% complete:

   Dang. Security reasons?

   I'll jump in! jQuery/JS doesn't actually change the code...it just changes what the browser displays, however the raw code is still without ID's etc, because it's happening client side, and not on the actual files.

   You also couldn't do this with a server side script (i.e. PHP) UNLESS you scanned the file, cached it, added the ID's/classes to the cache, and then output a new file overwriting the old file to the server. Feel free to have a go at that! It would be a pretty nifty tool.
