Can you use the same id in different files

Perhaps I am missing something here, but the earlier tutorials on selectors only deal with cases which use one file. I am aware that you should not use the same id multiple times within the same documet. But, If i have multiple pages for my site, and each page includes:

<h1> title <h1>

can I use <h1 id="title"> on each html file that includes the title? or should I use a class instead?

Hello Conah,

Technically it's possible to use the same ID for an element in different files. But id's are made to identify an object clearly, so please use the class attribut when selecting multiple elements.

I hope i could help you! Have a nice day :D
