       <p>This describes a failure condition where duplicate <code class="language-html">id</code> errors are known to cause problems for assistive technologies when they are trying to interact with content. Duplicate values of type <code class="language-html">id</code> can be problematic for user agents that rely on this attribute to accurately convey relationships between different parts of content to users. For example, a screen reader may use <code class="language-html">id</code> values to identify the applicable header content for a data cell within a data table, or an input control to which a given label applies. If these values are not unique, the screen reader will be unable to programmatically determine which headers are associated with the data cell or which control is associated with which label or name.</p>
       <p>Checking that <code class="language-html">id</code> attribute values are unique within a document can be done by validating the document against its specification, because the specification defines which attributes contain document-wide unique identifiers.</p>
