Thus spake Carl Johan Berglund: > I don't see a case when you can use an id and can not use a class, though. This seems to be the main point of confusion. Why not just come up with a unique classname and use it only once?... The only answer I can come up with is something like "because it would be dishonest to represent a unique instance of something as belonging to a class of things." From an effect-oriented CSS author's point of view, the distinction may be irrelevant, but from a markup point of view, it's a question of integrity. Class="author" could refer to Jules Verne or Willa Cather, but id="author" is very likely the author of the current document. Unless of course the document is a library catalog card, and we're talking about some HTML bastardization of XML. <g> __________________ Todd Fahrner mailto:todd@lowbrow.com http://www.verso.com/agitprop/
