Maybe a dumb question, but is it possible and if so, what would it look like
to write a style rule that is based upon the combination of an id and class
value on one tag?


I do it all the time, but I think you have it a little backwards. Since you shouldn't repeat ids (really, just don't), you should include the common features in classes, then the unique styles in the id.

So:

<div class="explorer" id="mini">Mini</div>
<div class="explorer" id="full">Full</div>

Or if neither of the sets of styles are unique, you can have: <div class="explorer mini">Mini</div> <div class="explorer full">Full</div>

Then you can have several divs with explorer and mini styles and several with explorer and full styles, without using an id more than once.

I know this works but I'm not sure what the general opinion is. Are there any problems with it? I have used it when I have several floats with most of the same styling, but some floated left and some floated right .

Thanks,

Alys
