Descendant Selector Css Code Example

Example 1: descendent selector in css

The descendant combinator — typically represented by a single space ( )  character — combines two selectors such that elements matched by the second selector are selected if they have an ancestor  (parent, parent's parent, parent's parent's parent, etc)  element matching the first selector.   example:    h1 ul {     border : 1px solid #f1f1f1; } Explanation: This above CSS code snippet will select all the 'ul' (unordered list) 			 tags which are preceeded by an 'h1' (header tag). /*the best way to understand is to practice by implemetation. Create a html file with lots of h1 and ul elements to understand by implementing CSS on them*/

Example 2: css select descendant with class

Select an element with the ID "id" and the class "class": #id.class { } example: <div>   <strong id="id" class="class">       Foobar   </strong>   <strong class="class">       Foobar   </strong> </div> => Will select the first <strong> element  Select all elements with the class "class", which are decendents of a element with an ID of "id": #id .class { } example: <div id="id"> 	<strong class="class">Foobar</strong> </div> => Will select the <strong> element

Example 3: css selector for sibling element

/* Paragraphs that come immediately after any image */ img + p {   font-weight: bold; }
