There are more. All navigation buttons have id's like "next" and "prev".

I'm actually having issues because of this - automated acceptance tests (Watir, Selenium etc) can't find elements when XHTML specs are broken.

There are places where two grids on the same page will share id's.

So far, I've not actually seen any issues with this - for the most part the grid code uses $("#id", context), where the context limits the jQuery search to the grid in question, but AFAIK having two elements with the same id on a single page is not allowed by any standard - so there's really nothing to guarantee that it will work.

Specifically the multiselect check-all checkbox is always jqgh_cb .

Also, column header ids are just jqgh_<col_name>. Now I _could_ avoid duplicates by not using duplicate names - but (a) thats not anywhere in the documentation (that I can find), and (b) its not always convenient to do that (for example, in my setup, the server-side datasource defines the column names, and I could have two grids which present different views onto the same data; its quite likely they will share /some/ columns).
