class

Summary

Styles all elements with the specified class.

Examples

For example, the following style rule matches any p element whose class attribute has been assigned a space-separated list of values that include the “pastoral” and “marine” class names. This rule matches when class="pastoral aqua marine" but does not match when class="pastoral blue".

<style>
    p.pastoral.marine { color: lightseagreen; }
</style>

Notes

Remarks

The class attribute value must immediately follow the “period” (.) notation. More than one class name can be specified in one style rule; to match a subset of class values, each value must be preceded by a period.

Syntax

<strong/>sel.value {...}

Parameters

sel

Selector
value

String that specifies the value of the “class” attribute.
