In CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) you can use both "id" and "class" to select elements to style. For example, you can use:
<div id="test">Text</div>
and use "#test" on your css page to style the text in between the "div" tags. My questions is what is the different between "id" and "class"? Surely I can replace the above "id" with "class", ie.
<div class="test">Text</div>
and use ".test" on your css page and it will provide the same results.
When do you use the "id" and "class" and what is the difference between the two?
Thanks.

In Simple Word:
A class is a type of item and the id is the unique name of an item on the page.
Examples of ids are: main-content, header, footer, or left-sidebar.
Thanks, Unlike the [b]id [/b]selector, the [b]class [/b]selector is most often used on several elements. This allows you to set a particular style for many HTML elements with the same [b]class[/b]. The [b]class [/b]selector uses the HTML class attribute, and is defined with a[b] "." [/b]A simple way to look at it is that an [b]id [/b]is unique to only one element. In Simple Word: A [b]class [/b]is a type of item and the[b] id is the unique name of an item on the page.[/b] Examples of ids are: main-content, header, footer, or left-sidebar. Thanks,
