Closing tag with ID property
Question: If I close any html tag in this fashion (Including the id property):
<div id="tagid" >...more html
...
</div id="tagid" >
Will it affect the page, or won't like it, or disrupt any W3C rules...how can I put it...will it affect in any way?
Why?: Simply personal preference.
Instead of writing additional comments next to the tag, I simply add the id to help me know WHAT tag is closed -The tag is closed any way, so I guess it won't do anything (or so I think)
PS. FYI, I am a beginner
Answer
No this is not valid.
While it might not break your code, it could!
You should just use the comments
</div> <!-- closing main content div -->
After checking, this
<div></div id="tagid" >
breaks in the validator

Although not specifically mentioned as illegal, the HTML spec only mentions attributes as appearing within the start tag:
Elements may have associated properties, called attributes, which may have values (by default, or set by authors or scripts). Attribute/value pairs appear before the final ">" of an element's start tag. Any number of (legal) attribute value pairs, separated by spaces, may appear in an element's start tag.
