How many different types of elements can you assign an ID to?

I see you can add an ID to an <a> element as well as a <div>. Can you put an ID=name on any type of element and then have your #name {} declarations apply to that?

If you are asking if the css is going to be used for multiple elements then you should use a class. If it only applys to one element you should use an ID.

If you are asking if any element can have an ID the answer is yes it is a global atribute.

I was a little unsure of what you were asking so I took my two best guesses and answered both haha. Hope one helps.

Haha I was a little unsure of what I was asking too. Your second answer was what I was curious about, and the first answer is also helpful - the next video is discussing classes. So, thanks for both answers!
