another difference between classes and ids are that IDs have a higher specificity than classes. If a class's properties conflicted with an ID's properties, the ID would take precedence over the class.
-----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Chris Stratford Sent: Wednesday, January 12, 2005 9:23 PM To: WSG Subject: [WSG] Class -vs- ID Just wondering. I was asked for the first time yesterday, what the big difference and advantage to using an ID over a CLASS was... I know why classes are good! What is the advantage of an ID over simply giving something an ID?? I know these facts, Only 1 usage per ID per page... Classes are unlimited, and you can assing Multiple classes to each entity too... So... Why? -- ------------------------ Chris Stratford [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.neester.com ------------------------ -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Anti-Virus.
