• Understand and use class attributes in HTML and CSS to style specific elements.
• Differentiate between tag selectors and class selectors.

• Key Concepts
  • Class Attributes
  • CSS Specificity
  • Steps to Using Class Attributes
• Error Spotting

• Definition: Class attributes enable you to apply styles to specific HTML elements, rather than all elements of the same type.
• Syntax: <tag class="classname">content</tag>
• CSS Selector: To apply styles, use a period before the class name in your CSS file:

  .classname { property: value; }

• Definition: Specificity determines which CSS rules are applied to an element when there are conflicting styles.
• Order of Precedence:
  1. Inline styling
  2. IDs
  3. Class, attributes & pseudo-classes
  4. Elements & pseudo-elements

1. HTML: Decide which tags to style differently and add a class attribute with a meaningful name.
2. CSS: Write the styling rules using the class selector.
3. Example:

<p class="highlight">Important text</p>

.highlight { background-color: yellow; }

• Case Sensitivity: Class names are case-sensitive; make sure to match the exact case in both HTML and CSS.

Happy coding!
