I have run into a problem with using certain id and class names. It was very mysterious at the time. My page looked different when viewed locally on my computer compared to in place on the web server. Reason for this was, I used an id name that was blocked by AdBlocker add-on. AND, the AdBlocker was set to not filter localhost content. Thus my page looked okay on my c drive. But the minute I uploaded it large chunks of content were missing. http://adblockplus.org/en/filters#elemhide_basic The url gives you a peek inside the mechanism for element hiding in Adblocker. I have not been able to find a list of default id and class that are blocked. However, I can tell you conclusively that (at the time) id="ad" was blocked :) Since then I have avoided such names for id or class.
