Multiple Use of a Division

[bole2cant]

Is there a way to use a division twice on a page without duplicating its
attributes under a new name in the stylesheet?

I'm converting from table layout to div layout. The div's at the bottom of the
page are exactly the same as the div's at the top of the page--non-div content
in between. Validating gives two errors for each repeated div.

The crystal ball says that you have id attributes in them. By HTML
definition, id attribute values must be unique within a document.

==================
At this point I don't know the proper terminology but I think you are telling
me that YES I must repeat the same attributes in the stylesheet as
div#right{...} AND div#rightftr{...} .
i.e.,
div#right{...} cannot be used as
<div id="right"> twice on the same page.

Thanks.

change the id (#) to a class (.)
div.right{...}
<div class="right">
you can then use the '.right' class as many times as you like in the
page.

=====================

That is the information I needed. I changed them and all is well.
(Well, except for the •)

Thanks, Brucie. I appreciate your help.
