IDs should be used to identify individual objects; classes should be used where the same styles need to be applied to multiple places in a document or site. That is the paradigm around which the scripts and browsers we use are based: an individual object identified by an ID can be accessed much more efficiently by JS using getElementById(), for instance, while there is no native implementation of getElementsByClass(); we have our own inefficient implementation, but it doesn't work particularly well or have good cross-browser support. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug.
