More About Classes

A class allows HTML elements to perform certain tasks within the specified class name. For instance, you can create a class with a predetermined font name, size, color, and padding. Then, you can use that class to equally style various elements on a page. The same class can be applied to multiple HTML elements, while ID’s are unique to only one specific HTML element.
