How to select a child in CSS?

Hey Rebecca,

To select a child element in CSS, use the child combinator >. For example, to select all < p > elements that are direct children of a < div > element, you can use:

div > p { /* styles here / } 1 2 3 div > p { / styles here */ } This will select < p > elements that are direct children of < div > elements.

I agreed with Saniya

But I would also like to share the code that I usually use.

To select a child element in CSS, you can also use the () pseudo-class. For example, to select the second < p > element that is a child of a < div > element, you can use:

div > p (2) { /* styles here */ } This will select the second < p > element that is a child of a < div > element.

Another way to select a child element in CSS is to use the and pseudo-classes. For example, to select the first < p > element that is a child of a < div > element, you can use:

div > p { /* styles here */ } This will select the first < p > element that is a child of a < div > element.

Hope this helped :slight_smile:
