πŸ“š Quick Study Guide

  • 🎯 CSS Selectors: Target HTML elements to apply styles.
  • πŸ†” ID Selector: Uses the `#` symbol (e.g., `#navbar`). Should be unique per page.
  • Class Selector: Uses the `.` symbol (e.g., `.button`). Can be used multiple times.
  • 🏷️ Element Selector: Targets HTML elements directly (e.g., `p`, `h1`, `img`).
  • πŸ”— Attribute Selector: Targets elements based on their attributes (e.g., `[type="text"]`).
  • πŸ‘Ά Descendant Selector: Selects elements that are descendants of another element (e.g., `div p`).
  • βž• Child Selector: Selects elements that are direct children of another element (e.g., `ul > li`).
  • :hover: Add special effects when you mouse-over an element (e.g., a button turns blue when you move the mouse over it.)
