ID is an attribute, not a tag. An ID makes a lot of sense when you want to define an element as unique in the document, say the navigation or the header. Classes are to be used in reoccuring elements, like a product shot for example. Another benefit of IDs is their specificity, which is higher than that of classes. An element that has an ID is also a lot easier to reach when you want to use DOM/JavaScript to add extra behaviour to the document. Generally it allows you the structure of the document more logically, one header, one main navigation , one content part, one footer. Classes would make it appear as if there could be more of each. -- Chris Heilmann Blog: http://www.wait-till-i.com Writing: http://icant.co.uk/ Binaries: http://www.onlinetools.org/ ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
