As you all know there is no replacement for ids. and 200 classes or ids is
ridiculous! but by using a single id for the div in question and letting the
styles cascade and letting jQuery do what, I feel, it does so well, you can
eliminate the use of 90% of ids.
Since most good xhtml (and html) is hierarchical, css & jquery deal well
with that hierarchy! I love seeing code like
$("#sPictures img:visible").animate({opacity: 'hide',height: 'hide',left:
window.innerWidth-90,top:window.innerHeight-90
},slow,'',function(){$(this).attr('style','display:none')})
with 1 id on a div ,instead of searching or remembering for ids and which
was hidden!
jquery gives me that power!

Exactly. It is senseless to use 200 classes when you have a big list, just
make them unique IDs (item_100, item_156, etc) and speed up the queries a
little bit.
