CSS Best Practice about ID and Class?

by

I guess they always use the id in examples because it’s less ambiguous. You know that they’re talking specifically about that one element and its styles.

In general, the rule of thumb is that you should ask yourself: “is there more than one element which requires the same style, now or at any time in the future?”, and the answer is even “maybe”, then make it a class.
