Tip of the Iceberg

1 - And also make sure that you don't cross the streams! That's bad too!

2 - Sheesh. Could you please just cut to the point?

3 - For those who are a little dense (like me), could you explain why?

4 - @3 - Actually, he can't. But I assure you that it's very good advice.

5 - Admittedly, this particular bug probably won't be an issue after the next fixpack, so the "never, ever" part probably should have been "for the time being".

6 - Had to try it myself to see why and it reverted my servers back to version 5 :)

7 - Hyphens are bad in any kind of names. Not in variables, or anywhere. Its confusing to see hyphens in someone else's code and I can't see why someone would use it.

Use underscore instead.

8 - @7 - That's precisely what I recommended to a colleague who came to me for advice after encountering an error message that was so not indicative of the root cause.

You might find it intriguing to know that both Google and Yahoo have HTML elements on their home page that contain a hyphen in the ID attribute. So, while I don't advise it, it does happen... this post was my attempt at a "public service announcement" in the hopes that it would spare others some avoidable confusion.

P.S. You forgot to enter your name... I nearly deleted your comment before I noticed it wasn't spam.
