In the DOM are node ids case sensititve?

by

Yes. It is case-sensitive. Attribute values are always case-sensitive. Different browsers seem to be doing different things though.

Handling document.getElementById is different across browsers:

  1. Mozilla performs case-sensitive search.

  2. Internet Explorer: IE 8 and later performs case-sensitive search, while IE 7 and earlier performs case-insensitive search.
