Jack, I think we covered this recently on here but just to recap, ID's are used for elements or components of the screen that are unique, for example if you have a containing DIV for your header, and it only appears once, then this should be an ID. If you have an element that appears many times, then it should be a class. You can have multiples of the same class on one page, but ID's should always be unique. I'll leave it to some of the more hardcore experts on here to give you detailed reasoning's into why that is, but a document will not validate with multiple uses of the same ID.
