Duplicate Id Active

Testing & Quality
duplicate-id-active

Duplicate Id Active is an Agent Skill for testing & quality published in the thedaviddias/Front-End-Checklist repository on GitHub: a SKILL.md instruction file an AI agent can load to do this task.

Use when reviewing rendered HTML, interactive components, or design-system patterns related to Use unique IDs for active elements. Check native semantics first, then inspect keyboard behavior, focus flow, accessible names, and screen-reader output where relevant.

How to use this skill

Bring this guide into your coding agent with a prompt tailored to the tool you use.

  1. Open your project in Codex.
  2. Copy and paste the prompt below.
  3. Review files and risks before approving any action.
Prompt to paste
Inspect the Agent Skill at https://github.com/thedaviddias/Front-End-Checklist/blob/HEAD/skills/duplicate-id-active/SKILL.md and all supporting files. Report provenance, permissions, scripts, dependencies, and security risks. Propose an exact installation into .agents/skills/duplicate-id-active, but wait for my approval before writing files or running scripts.

Copying this prompt does not install or run the skill. Review third-party files before use.

Use unique IDs for active elements

Duplicate IDs on active elements can cause browsers and assistive technologies to skip items, misdirect focus, or fail to trigger the correct action.

Quick Reference

  • Ensure all focusable elements (links, buttons, inputs) have unique id values
  • Avoid duplicate IDs that can break keyboard navigation and focus management
  • Prevent screen reader confusion when navigating interactive controls

Check

Search for duplicate id attributes on focusable or active HTML elements.

Fix

Assign a unique id to each active element to ensure correct focus handling and accessibility.

Explain

Explain how unique IDs on active elements prevent navigation errors for keyboard and screen reader users.

Code Review

Review the rendered markup and interactive states that affect Use unique IDs for active elements. Flag exact elements, roles, labels, focus behavior, or keyboard interactions that violate the rule, and note how to verify the fix with browser accessibility tooling or assistive tech.
