Discuss: what can you do in the case?

[html20009876]

I find <form> has a property called 'id', i.e. 'product'.

If the <form> also has an ID in css, i.e.

#myform {
....
}

The <form> will be:

<form id="product" id="myform" .... 
</form>

I guess code above doesn't work (never test).

What can you do in the case?

Is it only solution to change ID #myform to class .myform?
What else you can do?

I believe this is important reason that people prefer class in css, do you think so?

There's nothing wrong with the CSS and HTML code you posted. The stylesheet should control the appearance of the form #myform. If it doesn't, the problem lies elsewhere. Post the code or the URL of the page so someone can look at it and help you.

There is something very much wrong with the HTML. As you observed, elements can only have one ID attribute and ID attributes need to be unique on a page. But you can run classes together and use them multiple times on a page. SO you could use

<form action="Some_Script.php" id="product" class="myform">

or even

<form action="Some_Script.php" class="product myform">

It's bad naming if you come away with two IDs. I would simply call it product or product_form.

Or:

#myform, #product {
....
}
...
<form id="product">

An HTML element can not have the same attribute twice (or more), thus it can not bear two id tokens.
