What Are CSS Selectors?

CSS selectors are used to select the HTML elements you want to style. They allow you to apply different styles (like color, font, size, etc.) to specific elements in your webpage.

Types of CSS Selectors:

1. Universal Selector (*)
   • Targets all elements in the HTML document.
   cssCopy* { color: red; }
2. Type Selector (Element Selector)
   • Targets all elements of a specific type (like <h1>, <p>, or <div>).
   cssCopyp { font-size: 18px; }
3. Class Selector (.)
   • Targets elements with a specific class. Great for styling multiple elements with the same style.
   cssCopy.button { background-color: blue; color: white; }
4. ID Selector (#)
   • Targets a specific element with a unique ID. It’s used for one unique element on the page.
   cssCopy#header { background-color: #333; color: white; }
5. Attribute Selector
   • Targets elements with a specific attribute or value.
   cssCopyinput[type="text"] { border: 1px solid gray; }
6. Descendant Selector (Space)
   • Targets elements inside another element. Useful for nested elements.
   cssCopydiv p { color: green; }
7. Child Selector (>)
   • Selects only direct children of an element.
   cssCopyul > li { list-style-type: square; }
8. Pseudo-classes (:)
   • Targets elements in a certain state, like when a user hovers over an element.
   cssCopya:hover { color: red; }
9. Pseudo-elements (::)
   • Targets parts of an element, like the first letter or line of text.
   cssCopyp::first-letter { font-size: 2em; }

✨ Why CSS Selectors Are Important:

• Efficiency: Use the right selector to style multiple elements or specific ones.
• Customization: Tailor the design of your website based on elements, classes, IDs, or even states.
• Maintainability: Writing clear, organized selectors makes your code easier to maintain and update.

✅ Tips for Using CSS Selectors:

• Use class selectors when you want to style multiple elements similarly.
• Use ID selectors for unique elements.
• Keep your selectors specific enough to avoid unwanted styling effects.
