Hi all,

Wonder if anyone can point to a fix/workaround for this issue:

I have a mutli select TV and using the HTML Generic Tag Widget to spit out LI’s.

All working just great but unfortunately it is adding an ID to each LI’s - which is a no no for validation. Only part of the site which is now not validating. Any workaround anyone can suggest for this without hacking the core?

And yes, I have tried a boolean entry in the Widget to try not to output said ID - but with no luck.

TIA
Loving Modx!

I generally use a snippet to process the output. In this case i would set the widget to Delimited List with a unique char as the delimiter like ",". Then in the snippet make the list into an array and do a foreach loop to process the output. Here is an untested example:
```
<?php
// use: [!snippetName? &input=`[*tvName*]`!]
// check if input is set
if($input != ''){	
	// turn delimited list into an array
	$input = explode(",", $input);
	
	// set the outer <ul> wrapper
	$output = '<ul>'. PHP_EOL;
	
	// loop through each list item
	foreach($input as $item){
		// individual line output
		$output .= '<li>'.$item.'</li>'. PHP_EOL;
	}
	// close the </ul> wrapper
	$output .= '</ul>'. PHP_EOL;
	// return the list
	return $output;
} else {
	// if no input return nothing
	return '';
}
	
?>
```
