system tag as HTML body attribute

Is there a way to set up a system region tag that would act as a template's id attribute? And if so, what kind of block should that system region tag reference XHTML, text, etc.?

Thanks.

    There aren't any system region tags that will enable you to do this, but you could potentially add or modify the id attribute of the <body> tag by attaching a Format at the Template, Configuration Set, or Page level.

    For example, try something like this:
    * Create a new XSLT Format with code like this:

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
    <xsl:template match="/*">
        <xsl:copy>
            <xsl:apply-templates/>
            <xsl:copy-of select="@*"/>
        </xsl:copy>
    </xsl:template>
    <xsl:template match="node()[name()='body']">
        <xsl:copy>
            <xsl:attribute name="id">idGoesHere</xsl:attribute> <!--id goes here -->
            <xsl:copy-of select="@*"/>
            <xsl:copy-of select="./node()"/>
        </xsl:copy>
    </xsl:template>
    <xsl:template match="*">
        <xsl:copy-of select="."/>
    </xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
    • Edit your Template, click the Regions pane, then select this Format for the very first field (labeled XSLT Format). Attaching the Format here (as opposed to in a specific region) will make the Format transform the fully rendered page. This is how you are able to access the <body> tag.

    The sample XSLT Format I included above will change <body> to <body id="idGoesHere">. For now, this is a static id that is hard-coded into the XSLT Format. You could, however, have something set up to where this Format would look for a specific element on the page and change the id depending on the value of that element.

    Hope this helps!
