CSS: "Classifying" by class or id

    Date: 07/08/05 (WebDesign)    Keywords: java

    How do you prefer to use these two in your stylesheets?

    Though I realize that the primary intention of the id attribute is for use in establishing a handle in the DOM (for Javascript access, among other purposes), I will typically attach an id to an element and style it based on that handle if there's only one in my page. I take id to mean, in most cases, a singular one-instance of that type of style and class to be the opposite: an identifier that applies to many elements. In this way, I feel there is a better logical seperation of the two.

    Preferences? Thoughts?
