Declare multiple IDs

[johnblack]

This has got to be easy, but I can't quite seem to get it right and I can't find anything online to help out.

Here is my sample CSS

#sidebar #links ul {
...
}

#sidebar #authors ul {
...
}

However the CSS declared for each ul is the same. So I'd like to merge that into one piece of CSS like this

#sidebar #links, #authors ul {
...
}

But that doesn't work!

Anyone know what the correct syntax is?

Have you tried
#sidebar #links ul, #authors ul {...}

[Fotiman]

Since ID's are unique, it's overkill to have more than 1 ID within a selector. #sidebar can be removed entirely, unless it's being used to increase specificity. Here's how you could combine them:

#links ul,
#authors ul {
...
}

[Fotiman]

If you need to keep the #sidebar for specificity reasons, then it would be this:

#sidebar #links ul,
#sidebar #authors ul {
...
}

I suggest you stay away from ID's within the selctor (like Fotiman).

I would add classes to the UL tag.

<div id="sidebar">
<ul class="links">...</ul>
<ul class="authors">...</ul>
</div>

The corresponding CSS would look something like this:

.links, .authors {
...
}

what would be wrong with:
#sidebar ul{ ...
