Manipulate only the elements inside the designated container

Question

Manipulate only the elements inside the designated container

My CSS/bootstrap file is quite extensive and the styles are affecting more than just the elements I intended to target. While I want it to have a broad impact, the CSS changes are impacting the entire page. Renaming every element to [name].slider is not a feasible solution for me. Is there a simple way to restrict the styling to only affect elements within a specific container?

<head>
<!--The content in this section is also being affected-->
</head>

<div>
<!--Elements that should be impacted-->
</div>

html css bootstrap-4

Answer №1

If you want to style a specific div, simply give it an id or class and include that in your CSS file. For Less or Sass users, you can nest the entire file's content inside a rule with the designated id or class.

.my-styled-section h3 {
  color: green;
}

.my-styled-section {
  color: red;
}

<head>
  <!--the stuff in here is no longer affected-->
  <h3>Test</h3>
  <p>Test</p>
</head>

<div class="my-styled-section">
  <!--Stuff to get affected-->
  <h3>Test</h3>
  <p>Test</p>
</div>
