[Xerte] setting id

[Dave Burnett]

if (doneOnce != true){
  icon.nextSibling.lastChild.duplicate(menuData.menu_item.length - 1);
}


for (i = 0; i < menuData.menu_item.length; i++) {
  icon.nextSibling.childNodes[i].childNodes[0].attributes.id = 'dave_' + i;
}


I thought that was what I was doing.

The id queries all register that the id is set to what I would expect from the above, but this is the problem:
If I do not assign ID's to the target, and leave them as the ID in the proto, this triggers the last created page:

sameIDs.onRelease();

If I assign discrete ID's as per for (i above:

dave_2.onRelease();
does not function.
