Reusing my DIV

Hi,

I have a div that has some styles - the most important is the background image. Its working as i would like to to on my homepage. I want to re-use the div on my about us page with out copying the div attributes but giving it a different name. Can i re-use the below div with a different background image?

CSS: 
#header { /*Placement of image for header background */
    position: relative;
    background-image: url("../../images/header.jpg");
    background-size: cover;
    background-position: center center;
    background-attachment: fixed;
    text-align: center;
    padding: 7.5em 0 2em 0;
    cursor: default;
    color: #F4EDEA;
    font-family: Helvetica, Sans-Serif;
    font-style: normal;
    line-height: 12px;
    font-weight:400;
    font-size: 12px;  
}

HTML: 
<!-- Header -->
<div id="header">

    <!-- Inner -->
    <div class="inner">
        <header>
            <p>THE OFFICE OF</p><BR>
            <h1><a href="index.html" id="logo">LICITORS</a></h1>
            <BR><!-- <hr /> -->
            <p>THE EXPERTS</p>
        </header>
        <footer>
            footer here
        </footer>
    </div>

By reuse, you mean use the same styles on 2 different pages? Then you can import the same stylesheet into the about us page, give the div in the about us page a different class/id and give that class/id a different background image.

Here's an example (assuming you give the div about as it's id):
CSS: 
/* Import this stylesheet in both the homepage and about us page */

#header,
#about {
    position: relative;
    background-size: cover;
    background-position: center center;
    background-attachment: fixed;
    text-align: center;
    padding: 7.5em 0 2em 0;
    cursor: default;
    color: #F4EDEA;
    font-family: Helvetica, Sans-Serif;
    font-style: normal;
    line-height: 12px;
    font-weight:400;
    font-size: 12px;  
}...

    font-size: 12px;  
}

#header {
    background-image: url("../../images/header.jpg");
}

#about {
    background-image: url("../../images/about.jpg");
}

If you mean reuse, as in reuse that same element/component so you dont have to type it in on each page you want to use it, then React might be what you're looking for.
