What are the main differences between classes and ids? The concept confuses me a little?Here is how I remember it.
You have a class of history students. There are multiple history students, therefore, you would have multiple times where you would use a specific entry in CSS. Classes are more generic, and can be re-used.
IDs are unique - you use them only once throughout the html page.
I'm pretty sure I'm saying it right, but if I'm not someone else will correct me, I'm sure
That's right. Another example would be the group of people we call "middle class". Every person in that group has a characteristic that is represented by that "class". Each person has an ID (drivers license, SSN, passport) that identifies that specific person.
"Class" - multiple
"Identity" - singlular
