Re: OT: CSS Class vs ID?

Hi, Either method is correct but id's must be unique per document. Classes may be applied to multiple elements and instances in a single document, so in some instances a class offers more flexibility. I use id's as often as possible because I find them to be more human readable and because the

Re: OT: CSS Class vs ID?

You can do it with javascript, as the entire content of a stylesheet is accessible as a variety of data structures, but you can't do it with CSS itself. cheers, barneyb On Wed, 20 Oct 2004 18:52:47 +0200, Mark Drew <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > On a similar note, as I have been doing this *right n

OT: CSS Class vs ID?
