You could also try wrapping the two div s in two  div s with unique ids  Then select the div by     div1    wraper1   and     div1    wraper2    Here you go    lt div id  wraper1  gt   lt div id  div1  gt   lt  div gt   lt div id  wraper2  gt   lt div id  div1  gt   lt  div gt

I would use Different IDs but assign each DIV the same class    lt div id  c-1  class  countdown  gt  lt  div gt   lt div id  c-2  class  countdown  gt  lt  div gt    This also has the added benefit of being able to reconstruct the IDs based off of the return of jQuery   countdown   length    Ok what about adding multiple classes to each countdown timer  IE    lt div class  countdown c-1  gt  lt  div gt   lt div class  countdown c-2  gt  lt  div gt   lt div class  countdown c-1  gt  lt  div gt    That way you get the best of both worlds  It even allows repeat  IDS

Can you assign a unique CSS class to each distinct timer   That way you could use the selector for the CSS class  which would work fine with multiple div elements

div id      controlid        will return all the controls with the same name but you need to ensure that the text should not present in any of the controls

Your document should not contain two divs with the same id  This is invalid HTML  and as a result  the underlying DOM API does not support it   From the HTML standard      id   name  CS  This attribute assigns   a name to an element  This name must   be unique in a document    You can either assign different ids to each div and select them both using     id1   id2   Or assign the same class to both elements   cls for example   and use     cls   to select them both

Though there are other correct answers here  such as using classes   from an academic point of view it is of course possible to have multiple divs with the same ID  and it is possible to select them with jQuery   When you use   jQuery   elemid      it selects only the first element with the given ID   However  when you select by attribute  e g  id in your case   it returns all matching elements  like so   jQuery   id elemid       This of course works for selection on any attribute  and you could further refine your selection by specifying the tag in question  e g  div in your case   jQuery  div id elemid
