I like to opt for naming conventions that work across all pages of the site and all layouts where possible. The suggestions mentioned by others of nav and navSub are ones I always use.
Be careful though not to get carried away with content specific naming. Giving a column an id of 'news' rather than 'right' is a good idea in that it doesn't restrict where you might place that 'news' column on the page. However, I would hesitate to label a column 'news' because on one page the column may contain news, whilst on another it might contain something completely different. > > Does anyone know of a set of naming conventions for css classes and ids? > > Should they have semantic meaning?
