    Hi,
    I am having trouble figuring out why I cannot put the drop shadow container within the page container. I think I am mixing up the CSS ID and class concepts. Following is the link. Check the page source for CSS and HTML code. Thanks in advance.

    ID vs. CLASS
    There are several rules that you should consider when using either attribute.


    Will the selector be used more than once within a document?
    Do the selectors need to be combined?
    Does the specificity matter?
    If the answer to question number one or two is yes, then you need to use a class. Classes can be used more than once in a document whereas id’s cannot. A neat little CSS trick is that you can combine classes, for example:

    <div class="news highlight">CSS is the best!</div>

    Lastly, id’s have a higher specificity than classes, which means that the styles for the id element will be given priority over the styles for a class.

    You can also use both a class and id on a single element in order to gain greater control over the element.
