Yup, current ESP is in no way W3C compliant.  Versions beyond 1.7.5 hope

According to http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/types.html#h-6.2 "ID and NAME tokens must begin with a letter ([A-Za-z]) and may be followed by any number of letters, digits ([0-9]), hyphens ("-"), underscores ("_"), colons (":"), and periods (".")."  As a result, the javascript I tried fails.

Ideally, I would like to have the identify of the page they came from included in the survey results, rather than asking them to enter it.
