Div names

Hi All,

What's the difference between:

#header {
width: 100%;
}

and

div.header {
width: 100%;
}

Thanks,

Jeff

#header applies the styles to any element with id="header", while
div.header applies the styles to divs with class="header".

Selects any element with an *id* attribute that equals "header".
E.g. <div id="header"> or <p id="header"> Same ID can only apear once on
each page.

and

div.header { width: 100%; }

Selects any *div* element with a *class* attribute that contains the
word "header".
E.g. <div class="header"> but *not* <p class="header"> Same class can
apear many times on each page, and with different elements.
