General CSS Question

Hello,
While browsing through the master.css file, I've noticed the following types of id's/classes:

div.name
#name
div#name

Can anyone tell me the difference between these and in what circumstances each of theme would be used? (If different)

Obviously, i'm no CSS expert, but I've always been able to find my way. I usually use #name and div id="name" together to create div containers for positioning and .name for formatting. Recently, I used #name and the div container wouldn't display until I changed it to div#name, which is how my confusion has come about.

Any direction or resources you can provide is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Correction - *each of these

hello, using any of the forementioned :
div.name
#name
div#name

usually have the same affect....what u will find of late is css in cs4 format (reletively new coding)
apparantly it will the general format in the near future.
Basically like using xhtml instead of html...hope this makes sense.
