CSS Selectors and Properties Documentation

Definition of Selectors and Properties

Selectors in CSS are patterns used to select the elements you want to style. Properties, on the other hand, are the styles that you apply to the selected elements. Together, selectors and properties form a declaration block in CSS that defines how elements should be displayed on a web page.

Documented Selectors

Class Selector (.classname): Selects elements with the specified class attribute. It's used to select and style elements with the same class name.
