Imagine you have the following snippet of code!
<div class="container">
<div class="container__first">I might be a box!</div>
<div class="container__second">I could be a circle!</div>
</div>
.container {
overflow: hidden; /*How do I apply this property only to container__first and not
the second*/
}
You have the option to achieve this using the :nth-child() selector. Simply select the div that comes after .container by using .container div, and then specify which child you want to target within the :nth-child().
.container div:nth-child(1) {
overflow: hidden; /*How can I make it so this property only applies to container__first but not */
background: green; /* the second*/
}<div class="container">
<div class="container__first">I am a box maybe!</div>
<div class="container__second">I am a circle maybe!</div>
</div>
edit If your goal is to style only the .container__first element, the simplest approach would be to apply the styles directly to .container__first{} or .container .container__first{}.
If you have already specified the classes, container_first and container_second, you can easily customize them by adjusting the CSS properties. To keep it simple, I will make the text in the first container bold and the text in the second container italicized. Take a look:
.container__first {
overflow: hidden;
font-weight: bold;
}
.container__second {
overflow: visible;
font-style: italic;
}<div class="container">
<div class="container__first">I am a box maybe!</div>
<div class="container__second">I am a circle maybe!</div>
</div>If you prefer not to assign classes, there are alternate approaches available. Following @ramon-de-vires' suggestion above, you can use :nth-child or :last-child selectors to target specific child elements in the CSS, as demonstrated below:
.container p {
overflow: hidden;
font-weight: bold;
}
.container p:last-child {
overflow: visible;
font-style: italic;
font-weight: normal;
}<div class="container">
<p>I am a box maybe!</p>
<p>I am a circle maybe!</p>
</div>An even simpler method is to utilize the !important declaration in CSS, which allows you to override and prioritize certain styles. By adding !important after a property value (before the ;), you indicate that this value should take precedence over any conflicting rules.
