id="s1" id="s2" id="s3"
Why are there more than 3?

<!-- This is OK -->
<div id="s1"></div>
<div id="s2"></div>
<div id="s3"></div>
<!-- Not OK and I believe styles of this id wont be applied to all of these elements -->
<div id="s1"></div>
<div id="s1"></div>
<div id="s1"></div>

35,969 PointsYou can't have multiple ID's on a page, but you can't reference the same ID more than once on a page. So in that lesson one of the <li> elements has an an id "s1", which means no other element on that page can have the ID "s1", but you can have other elements with other ID's which can be referenced
Hope that helps :)
