Id and Class Selectors

Id and class selectors are mainly used for apply css on one or more than one Html elements at a time. We can apply css on any Html elements by using these two selectors id and class .

id and class in css

id Selector

The id selector is used to specify a style for a single, unique element. The id selector uses the id attribute of the Html element, and is defined with a # sign.

In below example we apply css on <p> tag with id="para1":

Syntax

#para1
{
text-align:center;
color:red;
}

Example

<html>
<body>
<style>
#center 
{
text-align:center;
}
</style>
<h1 id="center">This is heading</h1>
<p id="center">This is paragraph</p>
</body>
</html>

Result

This is heading

This is paragraph

Note: Do not start an ID name with a number. Because It will not work in Mozilla/Firefox browser.

class Selector

The class selector is used to specify a style for a group of elements. Unlike the id selector. This allows you to set a particular style for many Html elements with the same class. The class selector uses the Html class attribute, and is defined with a . (dot) sign.

In below example declare a class with name "center" (.center) which is used many Html attribute for display that particular element in center

Syntax

.center {
text-align:center;
}

Example

<html>
<body>
<style>
.center {
text-align:center;
}
</style>
<h1 class="center">This is heading</h1>
<p class="center">This is paragraph</p>
</body>
</html>

Result

This is heading

This is paragraph

You can also specify only specific Html elements should be affected by a class. In below example , all <p> elements will be display in center because here we apply css with <p> tag.

Example

p.center {
text-align:center;
}

Note: Do not start a class name with a number. This is only supported in Internet Explorer.
