Meteor Blaze dynamic template CSS results in duplicate element IDs

Question

I was given an old Bootstrap template to make it dynamic, and I had issues with dynamic CSS with ::before and ::after selectors check the below example image

The core issue is, that it works fine for single usage/class but when I tried to use the same CSS for dynamic templates (more than 1) it behaved strangely, initially I noticed that the ID was the same so I tried to convert it to class but issue not resolved, then I realized that that issue coming with only ::before and ::after selectors all other templates classes working fine, so I tried to add that CSS dynamically with combination of unique document ID’s, even I ended up with dynamic style tag with JS but it seems very hacky solution.

You can test whenever the user goes and selects the second question only the first one selected CSS apply, (I want both to behave independently) as I have other types (smilies/stars) as well, and with the hacky solution is https://dynamic-css.meteorapp.com/v1

as I added the code snippet I realized it could confuse the people with the same ID for both HTML blocks, but that's the issue, let's say I have 5 same HTML blocks do I need to add CSS for all 5 blocks, converting ID to classes also not resolved the issue — Abdul Hameed

Please try give unique name for each block of radio , currently it is escala for both — Sahab

The way I see it, you have two problems here, the first one is that id must be unique, especially in this case, if it's not unique, all lables with for='escala10' will represent the input with id='escala10' (as stated here), but since there are two id='escala10', it will only represent the first one. The easiest fix I could think of so that the CSS will apply with this structure is by using nth-last-of-type() pseudo class:

...
    .escala label:nth-last-of-type(1)::before {
      content: "1";
    }

    .escala label:nth-last-of-type(2)::before {
      content: "2";
    }
...

The second problem is that you are using the same name for all inputs, in the first section you used name='escala', and you did the same thing in the second section, this will make a situation where only one radio input can be selected throughout the sections (as I understand it, it should be one radio input per section, not one radio per all sections). To solve it, you can use a different name in each sections:

h4,
h5,
h6,
h1,
h2,
h3 {
  margin: 0;
}
ul,
ol {
  margin: 0;
}
p {
  margin: 0;
}
