.menu vs. #menu

[owosso]

I should know this but I don't. I see coding with .menu and also #menu. What's the difference?

[boen_robot]

#menu targets a single element with an ID called "element".eg.

<div id="menu">...</div>

.menu targets one or more elements with a class called "element".eg.

<div class="menu">...</div><div class="menu">...</div>

Use a class when you expect to use the same style for more than one element. Use an ID if you need to target exactly one particular element on the page.

Hi,I personaly use more the class property. I think that's personnal and I prefer the class properties for styling and the ID for other function.Complements \o/

I use id for semantic reasons. And class for anything that might repeat.For example:

<div id="header"></div><div id="navigation">   <div class="menu"></div>   <div class="menu"></div>   <div class="menu"></div></div><div id="content">   <div class="box"></div>   <div class="box"></div>   <div class="box"></div></div><div id="footer"></div>
