Sounds reasonable, I would add the value of the id attribute to
~n. Just don't know what to do when both id and name are set to
different values, hm.

Anyway if you want to do that, look into lib/tclwebtest.tcl in the
proc ::tclwebtest::deal_with_field , appx. line 3079

All these calls would need to be changed to conditionally also get the
attribute id somehow:

to: set a_result(name) [get_attribute $full name]

add: set a_result(name) [get_attribute $full id]

Looking at the code I'm really wondering why this call is repeated for
each field type, it could be propably done only once.


greetings
