  1. You should be using IDs whenever possible. It makes the page more robust and you have control of the elements, two parts of the site may use the same class but it does not work in one or the other so you then need two classes. If the class is in different IDs then it can look slightly different in each. So ID's allow you more flexibility and they can be used with not just CSS but in scripts and programming too. The best sites are those built almost exclusively of IDs. I rarely ever use classes as I can do more with IDs.

     

    IDs may only exist once on a page. Classies can be used often on a page.

  2. To issues to consider:

    • Security - Forums can cause all sorts of security holes, so do you/this other person know enough to deal with them. Other free forums have dedicated professional and experienced developers who do and keep on top of such issues.
    • JavaScript is not supported on many user agents and can be turned off at any time... always use server side code like PHP when possible.
