'ID already defined' Problems

[assassingod]

Chroder said it fine, except I want to be able to use

<div id="headerfont">esfdsfds</div>

As many times as I want without getting that 'ID already defined' error.

This is not possible without breaking XHTML 1.0 rules

And I still don't understand WHY you need multiple elements with the same ID ...

<style type="text/css">
.headerfont {
  font-family: Comic Sans MS;
  color:  red;
  font-weight: bold;
}
</style>

[...]

<div class="headerfont">This is one text in bold, red, Comic Sans MS</div>
<div class="headerfont">And another one</div>
<div class="headerfont">A third one</div>
<div class="headerfont">A fourth one ... does this get boring? ;)</div>

Because i'll be implenting it into a system. So the output of the script will be:

<div class="whatever">
here is some text blah blach blah
<div>

And that code will be loop'd, so obviously there is going to be more than 1 result, ergo more div tags.

Well, in the code you just posted you are using class, so where is your ID problem?

Where do you need multiple elements with the same ID, that's what I don't understand?

Alright, let me try another way

But I don't know what assassingod want's to achieve ...

lol Sorry I thought you were confuzzled :nervous:

#id CSS is for central formatting a single element (you could also just do that using style="..").

I never knew that I think I've been using ID's for multiple items as well.
