  The id Selectors •In addition to setting a style for a HTML element, CSS allows you to specify your own selectors called "id" and "class". • The id Selector • The id selector is used to specify a style for a single, unique element. • The id selector uses the id attribute of the HTML element, and is defined with a "#".

  Example <style type= “text/css” #para1{text-align:center; color: red;} #para2{text-align: left; color: green;} </style> <p id= “para1”>Hello World</p> <p id= “para2”>Hello Philippines</p> Do NOT start an ID name with a number! It will not work in Mozilla/Firefox.

  The class Selector •The class selector is used to specify a style for a group of elements. Unlike the id selector, the class selector is most often used on several elements. • This allows you to set a particular style for many HTML elements with the same class. • The class selector uses the HTML class attribute, and is defined with a "."
