Why are classes being used here instead of IDs?

It seems like the classes used in this will only be used once, so why aren't IDs used instead?

you've not shown your workspace so i dont know to what you are referring. personally i ONLY use IDs for something i know to be unique. so i tend to use classes generally and IDs specifically rather than the other way round. i dont know about anyone else though
