 > That's not entirely true. In the past IDs were faster to target from JS,
 currently targeting classes is about as fast as targeting IDs (except in
 IE7).

 I wasn't referring to performance but instead to targeting an unique
 element without worrying that your selector can match others
 inadvertently. That does assume that all IDs on a page are unique, of
 course.
