Joomla 1.6 Core IDs

From Joomla! Documentation

This table contains a list of the CSS IDs generated by the Joomla! 1.6 core. This list is not be complete and subject to change. The list is presented in a "designer / developer friendly format" to aid in the construction of new templates for 1.6. The HTML id attribute provides a unique identifier for an HTML element.  The ID can be used by the DOM and Javascript to assign a unique identifier to objects or as a unique CSS element for formatting content in page views.

For Joomla, it is probably safe to assume the vast majority of IDs are used for unique identification rather than CSS formattting.  In the following table, no distinction is made between the two different uses.  Some rules of thumb to follow are:

  • If the ID is contained in an event-driven element (form, input, button, label, select, etc.), it is most likely there for use by the DOM and Javascript as a unique identifier
  • If the ID is contained in a passive element (div, h1, p, ul, li, etc.), it is most likely there for formatting purposes.
