ID selector

The ID selector matches the single element whose id attribute equals the given value.

Since CSS1 Spec ↗

Syntax

#identifier { }

Examples

#main-nav { position: sticky; top: 0; }
#hero { min-height: 60vh; }
Output
Styles the unique elements with id "main-nav" and "hero".

Notes

Specificity is 0,1,0,0, which is very high and hard to override; prefer classes for styling. IDs must be unique per document. Useful as JS and fragment-link targets rather than style hooks.
