  • Please help me to understand this CSS

    Posted 13 years 3 months ago
    • Hi all

      could you please help me to understand these CSS selectors:
      div.socialbuttons{
    width:100%
} 
      div.socialbuttons div{
    float:left;
    margin-right:5px;
} 

      What is the difference between "div.socialbuttons" and "div.socialbuttons div"? What is the purpose of the additional "div" in 2nd selector? Why not building a single selector?

      Sorry, I'm very CSS beginner :oops:
      Thank you

      I'm a woman. This does not mean that I'm not able to distinguish a goat from a website and a shopping list from a css file.
      I design websites since 1996, right? Cheers :-)

    • div.socialbuttons {..}
      This rule should style a div with the class="div.socialbuttons"
      <div class="socialbuttons">some code</div>

      div.socialbuttons div {...}
      This rule should style all div's that are inside a div with the class="div.socialbuttons"
      like
      <div class="socialbuttons">
      <div>some code</div>
      <div>some code</div>
      <div>some code</div>
      </div>

      Hello Hening!

      Why
      <div  class="div.socialbuttons">

      instead of
      <div  class="socialbuttons">
      ?
