HTML How to Make a Website Styling Web Pages and Navigation Style the Portfolio

Confused about use of "ID" multiple times on a single html page on 'How to make a website'

There's #wrapper, #logo, #gallery on the same html page. Is this meant only for learning purposes? I thought "Id" could only be used once, the rest being 'classes'.

Hi Kartikashree,

You can have as many ids as you want on a page but you can only use a specific id once. For example; id="logo" can only be used once on a page. You could also use id="gallery" on the same page but it can be used only once on that page. On the other hand class="someClass" could be used multiple times on a page.

Thank you, Jeff! I think I get it now.

What they do is correct. Here, you use more than one id's: wrapper, logo, gallery;

What they mean by "'Id' could only be used once, the rest being 'classes'" is that you can't have two elements with the same id.

Thank you, Arthur!
