Regardless the problem I was raising, if the document changes dynamically, your generated signature has great chances to fail (cf. also comment from bdunn).

I really hope it's not true because it would really be quite pointless. Let's try by yourself: put the same id name (e.g. "testId") on two different elements in your example and then try this code:

    $("#testId")
It will return only one element. So you'll never be able to find the second one with a selector...

Yes :)

Thanks. I was not aware of that. Now this encourage me even more :) If a bad programmer like me place two ids with same name. Extension developer like x did not able to get the second one. That why I need this
