The browsers have no problem with duplicate ID's. The validator does.

Think of Classes and ID's this way: a class is a group. Anyone can belong. An ID is an identification number - it has to be unique to one individual.

That's how it should work, but in my experience most browsers just treat it like a class and repeat the styling. The HTML validator growls at you if you do use them more than once though...

Yes, that about sums it up . I've never tried it, but if you were to try to use an ID more than once I don't think it would even display more than once. Am I right or wrong about that?

Hi,

An ID should always be unique, therefore you should only use them to identify unique parts of the page for instance your header. Each ID should only appear on a page ONCE.

Classes can be used as many times as you like.

At least... that's how I understand it...
