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
