CSS Child Selector
CSS Child Selector property is also used to style a direct child element. The Child Selector is represented by the symbol of greater than (>) which is placed between the two selectors.
Example 1 – CSS Child Selector Property
<!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <style> div > p { color:white; background-color: darkcyan; padding: 10px; } .header > p { color: white; background-color: deeppink; padding: 10px; } </style> </head> <body> <div> <p>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod temporua.</p> </div> <div class="header"> <p>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua.</p> </div> <p>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, oluptate velit esse cillum dolore eu fugiat ariatur.</p> </body> </html>
In the above examples, we have difine that there is a p element which is inside a div element. And we apply some CSS Proprty to the p element.
In the first example, we have used a p tag inside a div tag. In the second example, we have used an h2 tag inside a class. In the third we used a p tag only.
This single p tag shows with default look and feel because we only style that p element which is inside a specified class and div tag.
Another Example of this Selector
CSS Child Selector property is also used to style a direct child element. The Child Selector is represented by the symbol of greater than (>) which is placed between the two selectors.
Example 2 – Another Example of this Property
<!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <style> div > h4 > span { color:white; background-color: rosybrown; padding: 10px; } div > p > span { color: white; background-color: lightcoral; padding: 10px; } </style> </head> <body> <div> <h4> <span>Technology</span> </h4> </div> <div> <p> <span>Technical</span> </p> </div> <div> <h5> <span>Information</span> </h5> </div> </body> </html>
In the above examples, we have a p and h4 elements which is inside a div element. Also, have a span tag which is written inside an h4 and p elements both.
In the first example, we have used a span tag which is inside a p tag and this p tag is inside a div tag. In the second example, we have used another span tag inside a p tag and this p tag is inside a div tag. In the third example, we used a span tag inside h5 tag and this h5 tag is inside a div tag.
In the third example, we can not apply any style so it shows the default design specification. But we apply styles to another example.
I’d need to test with you here. Which is not one thing I normally do! I take pleasure in studying a publish that can make individuals think. Also, thanks for permitting me to remark!
