# selector-max-id Limit the number of ID selectors in a selector. ```css #foo {} /** ↑ * This type of selector */ ``` This rule resolves nested selectors before counting the number of ID selectors. Each selector in a [selector list](https://www.w3.org/TR/selectors4/#selector-list) is evaluated separately. The `:not()` pseudo-class is also evaluated separately. The rule processes the argument as if it were an independent selector, and the result does not count toward the total for the entire selector. ## Options `int`: Maximum universal selectors allowed. For example, with `2`: The following patterns are considered violations: ```css #foo #bar #baz {} ``` ```css #foo #bar { & #baz {} } ``` ```css #foo #bar { & > #bar {} } ``` The following patterns are _not_ considered violations: ```css #foo {} ``` ```css #foo #bar {} ``` ```css .foo #foo {} ``` ```css #foo.foo #bar {} ``` ```css /* each selector in a selector list is evaluated separately */ #foo, #baz #quux {} ``` ```css /* `#bar` is inside `:not()`, so it is evaluated separately */ #foo #bar:not(#baz) {} ```
