First, I originally experienced this issue using an external stylesheet,
so that is clearly not the issue.
Second, ID has to be unique in the HTML, not within the CSS. It is
perfectly valid to have a single ID and give that element two classes, eg:
<div id="myDiv" class="content special">Foo</div>
And also valid to style this div using:
#myDiv.content {
border: 1px solid black;
}
#myDiv.special {
background-color: yellow;
}
If however, you keep those same style rules and change the html to be:
<div id="myDiv" class="special">Foo</div>
Just because #myDiv.content isn't found on the page doesn't mean that
@myDiv.special can't exist. The browser should still follow the second rule.
