ID — NN 4 IE 4 HTML 4

Synopsis

ID=”elementIdentifier"

Optional

A unique identifier that distinguishes this element from all the rest in the document. Can be used to associate a single element with a style rule naming this attribute value as an ID selector. An element can have an ID assigned for uniqueness as well as a class for inclusion within a group. A style sheet rule applied to a FONT element overrides any directly assigned attribute values. Therefore, you can define a set of font characteristics for non-CSS-capable browsers and a modified version for CSS-capable browsers in the same tag. See Chapter 3.

Example

<FONT ID="specialFont3" COLOR="Olive">...</FONT>

Value

Case-sensitive identifier.

Default

None.
