<font size=3D3>Timothy is right...<br>
But also know another difference: when using JavaScript or CSS to mess
with positioned divs, then you reference the div by the &quot;id&quot;
attribute, and not the class.<br><br>
And I also seem to remember something about how some of the older
browsers don't support the &quot;id&quot; attribute sometimes, but I'm
not sure exactly.<br><br>

It's just a little question that's been around because I just discovered
the<br>
power of &lt;div&gt;.<br>
What's the difference between using &lt;div id=3Dsmth&gt; and &lt;div
class=3Dsmth&gt;<br>
(and &lt;div id=3Dsmth1 class=3Dsmth2&gt;)?<br>
Are they supposed to have different content?<br><br>
Thank you all.<br>
