CSS Selectors

This reference section describes all CSS selectors in the CSS2.1 specification, plus a small selection of widely supported selectors from the proposed CSS3 specification. They are organized as follows:

• Basic selectors: the universal selector, type (tag) selectors, classes, IDs, and grouping selectors
• Pseudo-classes and pseudo-elements, including those used for styling links
• Combining selectors for greater control: descendant, child, and adjacent sibling selectors, plus the general sibling combinator
• Attribute selectors
