What are important ID names for parts of a web page?

A developer uses unique ID names for specific parts of a web page. These IDs help JavaScript code find and change elements on the page. Each ID must be clear about its purpose.

The rule

A developer uses unique ID names for specific parts of a web page.

These IDs help JavaScript code find and change elements on the page. Each ID must be clear about its purpose.

A developer uses `#interactive-svg-demo` for the main section that holds an SVG image. JavaScript code will interact with this section. A developer uses `#svg-diagram-tooltip` for a small box that shows extra information. This box moves around inside its parent container. A developer uses `#tooltip-name` and `#tooltip-info` for the text inside the tooltip box. A developer uses `#svg-touch-message` for a panel that gives information to mobile users. This panel appears below the SVG image.

A developer builds a web page with an interactive diagram. The developer gives the main diagram area the ID `interactive-svg-demo`. The developer creates a small pop-up box for details and gives it the ID `svg-diagram-tooltip`. Without these IDs, the JavaScript code cannot find the correct parts of the page to make them interactive.
