Radio buttons for custom fields in Contribution forms do not have a css id or class

Radio buttons for custom fields in Contribution forms (and probably others) do not have a css id or even a class, making it next to impossible to target them with css selectors. What follows is a conversation about this that I have with Mr Lobo on IRC where we (he) came up with a solution - that needs to be implemented by someone!

Basically, the idea is to use id = name.value to generate a uniqe ID for the elements.

<mrfelton> hmm. In the contribution page form css, radio buttons have no class, and an id that changes every time the form is loaded!

[05:01:09] <dlobo> mrfelton: u should chat with kyle, he's cleaning that stuff up in 3.1
[05:01:21] <dlobo> i think its random id's when we dont have a name attached to it
[05:01:30] <dlobo> courtesy of QF
[05:01:30] <mrfelton> it has a name

[05:01:33] <mrfelton> custom_i3
[05:01:42] <dlobo> the group has a name
[05:01:50] <dlobo> each element does not
[05:01:51] <mrfelton> (when i inspect it with firebug I can see that name)
[05:02:12] <dlobo> and the solution is maybe to derive the name from the group name
[05:02:21] <mrfelton> no, the element has that name

[05:05:07] <dlobo> mrfelton: check
[05:05:07] <dlobo> http://drupal.demo.civicrm.org/civicrm/contribute/transact?reset=1&actio...
[05:05:25] <dlobo> the amount radio buttons
[05:05:36] <dlobo> so for the id, we'll have to do something like
[05:05:49] <dlobo> id = name.value (so amount.267) etc
[05:05:53] <dlobo> that might work
[05:06:04] <dlobo> since all of the radio buttons have the same id
[05:06:16] <dlobo> same name i mean
[05:06:25] <mrfelton> ah I see what you mean
[05:06:53] <mrfelton> yeah, that should work the same for custom fields too then. name.value
[05:07:08] * zzolo has quit ()
[05:07:19] <mrfelton> although, isn't it possible to have whitespace in the value? so, the value would need cleaning up
[05:07:56] * dgg has joined #civicrm
[05:08:23] <dlobo> yeah, we'll use a munged name/value
[05:08:34] <dlobo> and do alphanumeric only etc
[05:12:54] <mrfelton> sounds like a plan
[05:14:47] <dlobo> wanna file an issue, might require some QF hacks. if you can look for a patch even better
[05:14:56] * jalama has joined #civicrm
[05:15:19] <dlobo> two places where we set it: CRM/Core/Form/Renderer.php
[05:16:36] <mrfelton> sure, I'll file it later on tonight. Goto to pop out now
[05:17:00] <dlobo> HTML/QuickForm/element.php, function _generateID
