How to find the second id of something

Question

How can I get access to second div with id general as I tried in the script?

<div id="general">ds</div>
<div id="general">ds</div>`

alert($("#general").eq(2).html());

Answer 1

This is not possible *because Ids must be unique. If you need to identify more than one element with a name, use classes instead of Ids:

<div class="general">ds</div>
<div class="general">ds</div>

var divs = document.querySelectorAll('.general');
alert(divs[0].innerHTML);
alert(divs[1].innerHTML);

_{* It’s actually possible, as other responses and comments show. But you should never repeat the ID in HTML, and so I don’t intend to show the tricks that allow you to select these elements with repeated Ids.}
