If you change the IDs in one place and not another, then of course it will break. And if you change the IDs in both places it should work because the browser doesn't care about the content of the IDs, just the values. To a browser <code>id="pslkmfdskmf"</code> is just as meaningful as <code>id="something-meaningful"</code> so if you have <code>#pslkmfdskmf</code> in your css, you're good to go.
