Why could you not (a) use "class" instead of "id" for id="redBorder" or (b) use "for='redBorder'", since IDs must be unique ?

It seems that the "id" attribute in a form element must contain the same name as the "for" attribute in the <label> tag in order for these to be related. But if that form element already had a CSS "id" attribute associated with it (for stylistic reasons), then the <label> tag cannot be associated with it. For example: > > <label for="fname">First name:</label> <input type="text" name="firstname" id="redBorder" value=""> > > So where do I put id="fname" in that form element? Are label and CSS "id" attributes mutually exclusive, or am I missing something??? This seems like an awfully obvious conflict of the "id" attribute, so I'm assuming that there is a syntactical workaround of some sort...
