what's the difference ? why should it 'really' be like that ?, does not mater if you use a class or id, not unless your using it more that once on the page

the first one doesn't reference the list he is trying to apply it too, so in order for it to work he would need to wrap the entire thing in a div called main_links - which would be a little bit of a code bloat

I will be honest, I always wrap mine like that, simply because I like to 'contain' the menu or list.. saves me allot of IE hacks later

I have wrapped it up I just didn't add the container for it in the post.

I think it's because Jason showed wrams the HTML, with the UL having that class, so Jason was just showing the relevant CSS to match the HTML :)
