NOT to be confused with...
HTML vs CSS
HTML CSS
<div class=“headline lead-story article”> .headline p {
}
These spaces give multiple classes This space means a <p> tag inside another tag with class .headline
Example from Richmond Site
<div id="post-38661" class="hentry p1 post publish author-lexi-pandell category-education category-featured category-front tag-big-brother-big-sister tag-mentoring tag-nonprofit tag-youth y2012 m02 d07 h13">
A few others
h3, p { color:orange; } <div id=“container”><h3>Here is one headline</h3>
<div><h3>Another</h3><p>Some text here</p>
</div>
<p>Another paragraph.</p><h3>Last graph.</h3>
</div>
A few others
#container > h3 { color:orange; } <div id=“container”><h3>Here is one headline</h3>
<div><h3>Another</h3><p>Some text here</p>
</div>
<p>Another paragraph.</p><h3>Last graph.</h3>
</div>
A few others
h3 + p { color:orange; } <div id=“container”><h3>Here is one headline</h3>
<div><h3>Another</h3><p>Some text here</p>
</div>
<p>Another paragraph.</p><h3>Last graph.</h3>
</div>
A few others
h3:first-child { color:orange; } <div id=“container”><h3>Here is one headline</h3>
<div><h3>Another</h3><p>Some text here</p>
</div>
<p>Another paragraph.</p><h3>Last graph.</h3>
</div>
The Cascade
What happens if there is a conflict?
The more specific rules take precedence.
External Style Sheet Embedded Style Sheet Inline Styles
<head><style>
.headlines {color:black;
}
</style></head>
<div style= “color:black;”>
Which rule wins out?
#container {
font-size: 30px;
}
#headline {
font-size: 10px;
}
<div id="container">
<div id="headline">
<p>My headline</p>
</div>
</div>
<div id="container">
<div id="headline">
<p>My headline</p>
</div>
</div>
Which rule wins out?
#container {
font-size: 30px;
}
#container {
font-size: 10px;
} Because it comes last
