DIV Question.

[HabbDance]

i've heard that you shouldn't use the same div twice on a web page. i've also heard it doesn't matter.

do you know for sure if it does? :P

if i explained that bad just say, i'm half asleep atm.

You can, only if those divs are the same.
If you have 2 different divs with the same name, they'll probaby go crashing with each other. :P

[Jibbish]

unless you use classes

[Monopoly]

Yeah, div ids should only be used once on a page but classes can be used multiple times.

thanks (;

id = #
class = .

E.g:

.header {
CSS
}

Can be used more than once

#header {
CSS
}

Can't be used more than once ( on the same page )

I got told if you're wanting to use the same div twice it's valid to use classes not id's.

E.g:

.header {

}

Can be used more than once

#header {
CSS
}

You can only use the same divs if they are the same.
Like navigations etc, if you want them to look the same, you can use div's twice.

[kk.]

id = #
class = .

E.g:

.header {
CSS
}

Can be used more than once

#header {
CSS
}

both of them are correct. Its alright to use IDs, its just not valid html thats all

The clue is in the name - what would be the point in personal ids if more than one person had the same id, whereas the are loads of different people that are upperclass.

[L?KE]

Using ID's more than once will display properly, but it isn't valid when you check the html.
