CSS Grouping and Nesting Selectors

« Previous Next Chapter »

Grouping Selectors

In style sheets there are often elements with the same style.

h1
{
color:green;
}
h2
{
color:green;
}
p
{
color:green;
}

To minimize the code, you can group selectors.

Separate each selector with a comma.

In the example below we have grouped the selectors from the code above:

Example

h1,h2,p
{
color:green;
}

Nesting Selectors

It is possible to apply a style for a selector within a selector.

In the example below, one style is specified for all p elements, and a separate style is specified for p elements nested within the "marked" class:

Example

p
{
color:blue;
text-align:center;
}
.marked
{
background-color:blue;
}
.marked p
{
color:white;
}
