elements in the document.Class selectors - select HTML elements based on their class attributes. For example, The
.my-class
selector will select all elements that have a class attribute with the value "my-class".ID selectors - selects a single HTML element based on its id attribute. For example,
#my-id
selector will select the element that has the id attribute with the value "my-id".Universal selectors - selects all HTML elements. For example,
*
selector will select all elements in the document.Attribute selectors - select HTML elements based on the presence or value of their attributes. For example,
[href]
selector will select all elements that have an href attribute.Pseudo-class selectors - select elements based on their state or position in the document. For example,
: hover
selector will select an element when the user hovers over it with the mouse.Pseudo-element selectors - select parts of an element, such as the first letter or first line of text. For example,
::before
selector will select and style the content before an element.Combinator selectors - select elements based on their relationship with other elements in the document. For example,
