You only asked about #BOX, not about 'so many other items'.
But don't worry, it's possible.

#DOTTED, #BOX, #so, #many, #other, #items {
border:1px dotted #CCCCCC;
}
They don't all have to be id's, could be just as well like this:

..so, .many, .other, .items {
border:1px dotted #CCCCCC;
}

Does this answer suit you better?

What about

ID="box" style="border: 1px dotted #CCCCCC;" where you want a box with
dotted border.

That would be even more typing, if I understand you
correctly. Besides, you can't use the same ID twice.

If figure if she wanted only that box with dotted border and nothing
else, that should be the simle way. When I see here reply to you I
