I'm a css newbie, like to know what is the diffrent between "id" and "class". How, and when to use them. Thanks.

ID and CLASS ??

Ids are unique identifiers that should be used to identify a single element.
Classes are identifiers that can be used more than once, so when you have a rule you want to apply to multiple elements, you would use a class, not an ID.
About the only other difference is their specificity, but I wouldn't worry about that right now - it's quite advanced stuff.
Hope this helps,
