in css # is used to refer to an "id" of an element. and . is used for referring to a class. <div class="text_wrapper"> <div id="text"> .... </div> </div> note:remember, ids are usually used in inner elements...but then again, its up to the situation.... have a nice day.

with # selector you can select an element by it's id. it means you can only select one element in the document. the '.' selector is for select a whole class. it can be one or more elements. see this example: https://code.sololearn.com/WIdszAQCm9Ju/#css
