@NogDogAug 26.2005 — #The shorter format probably has more use with classes ("div.class" vs. ".class") since a class could logically be applied to more than one type of HTML element, whereas an ID should always be used only once within your HTML, and thus should always apply to just one element type.
However, I tend to use the "#id" format a lot, I guess because I'm lazy and want to type fewer characters, plus there's less to change if I decide to change the type of HTML element for that item in my markup. (For instance, I realize I don't need it to be a DIV, it can just be a H1 element.)
#id vs. div#id ?
Hello everyone,
Can someone point out the difference between #id and div#id? I’ve notice some css that has div#id and some site don’t. Is it an inherit rule? I’m sorry but I just don’t have the time to go through all the CSS rules. OK.. I’m just lazy but I will if I have to.
Thanks,
Eugene
