Today I learned!

Hello everyone!

Unfortunately, I'm retyping this because my draft did not save. But I am taking this as an opportunity to review again! :)

Anyways.... as I had previously written. I was getting confused with all of the new terms I was learning. So, I thought I would create a little cheat sheet that I can reference.

The extension for CSS files is .css. These can be linked to an HTML file using a tag in the
section.
CSS code can be written in an HTML file by enclosing the code in tags. TERMS</li> <li>CSS classes: can be reusable and applied to many elements. Class selectors = . followed by the class name.</li> <li>CSS ID selectors: unique and used to style only a single element. ID selectors = # followed by the id name.</li> <li>CSS type selectors: match all elements of a given type or tag name. Unlike for HTML syntax, we dont include the angle brackets when using type selectors for tag names. </li> <li>The CSS class selector matches elements based on the contents of their class attribute. a.</li> <li>Selector specificity: the selector with the highest specificity wins out. The most specific selector type is the ID selector, then class selectors, and then type selectors.</li> <li>CSS ID selector: matches elements based on the contents of their id attribute. The values of id attribute should be unique in the entire DOM. # </li> </ul> These are the ones I was confusing but typing them out and rereading definitely helped me review. Excited to continue learning!!!
