Question about IDs.

I understand that I can use only one ID per page. But can I use ID from another page?

ex: I use ID = "div-wrapper" from index.html Then I use the ID ="div-wrapper" again from about.html

Yes!.

You can use the same ID across multiple pages, but only once per each page.

But what if you want to be specific when applying different CSS rules to the index.html or about.html page in the CSS file???

Use a different ID and use a class for the common CSS rules.

Then you'll need to give it another ID for that.
