CSS combinators
Created By: chatGPT
In CSS, combinators are used to define the relationships between selectors. They help you select elements based on their position in the HTML document relative to others. There are four types of combinators:
Descendant Combinator (
): This combinator selects elements that are descendants (children, grandchildren, etc.) of a specified element.div p {
color: blue;
}Child Combinator (
>): This combinator selects only the direct children of a specified element.ul > li {
list-style-type: square;
}Adjacent Sibling Combinator (
+): This selects an element that is directly after another specified element.h1 + p {
margin-top: 20px;
}General Sibling Combinator (
By using these combinators effectively, you can create more complex and specific styles in your CSS, allowing for greater control over how your HTML elements are displayed.~): This selects all siblings that follow the specified element, not just the immediate next sibling.h1 ~ p {
color: gray;
}
