My issue is the same as this thread http://ellislab.com/forums/viewthread/164457/ I wish to place two category menus on the same page and am getting validation errors due to the fact that the id nav_categories is being generated twice by EE2.x.  Not sure how this guy got around the problem any help welcomed.

{exp:channel:categories channel="offices"  class="subnav" [color=red]id="dummy1"[/color] } 
    <a href="http://{path=%27portal/offices%27}">{category_name}</a> 
    {/exp:channel:categories}
    
        
        
     <div class="section_name">
      <center>
        <h2>Sales Offices</h2>
<p>      </center><br />
    </div><br />
    {exp:channel:categories channel="offices"  class="subnav" id="dummy2" } <a href="http://{path=%27portal/offices%27}">{category_name}</a> {/exp:channel:categories}

Hi welshartnow,

You can specify which ID and class should be applied to each nested UL. The documentation has examples of how you do this.

Cheers

Thank you Greg and to the originator of the thread who also helped.  This does work, if you wish to include more than one category menu on the same page assign dummy id’s to each of your category menus, ie id=“dummy1”, id=“dummy2”. See code below.  This has the effect of writing any id’s generated by EE

Glad that worked for you. Feel free to start a new thread if you have any more questions
