.woman (class="woman") has a set of characteristics.
#suzanne has a unique to her set of characteristics.
In the code, you would say:
and this would mean that this particular div of the class woman (with the same characteristics of all the other tags of class woman) is called Suzanne (suzanne is a woman), and has particular characteristics (usually visibility, positioning, et cetera) as well as shared characteristics. So the div called "suzanne" would be positioned 38 px from the top and 700 px from the left and would be on top, and absolutely so, and it would also *look* like all the other divs of the class woman, so any text would be whatever I wrote in the CSS.
Clear as mud!
Suzanne

Interchangeable? Not really (although IE may let you since it lets you use all sorts of 'shortcuts').
Hi classy woman: love that tutorial -- borders on elegance with its brevity and use of real world examples.

woman is a class, Suzanne is an id.

I know how to use them... with the "." and "#" and how to use them in tags.
But I've also had several tags share an id and had one tag use a class. That's why I ask if their interchangable.
Also, does one support functions the other doesn't? (like span and div do)
