This specific div.myclass
selects all div
elements that also have the class .myclass
.
On the other hand, div .myclass
targets any element with the class .myclass
that is nested inside a div
element at any level (known as a descendant selector).
In addition...
The selector div >.myclass
specifically targets elements with the class .myclass
that are direct children of a div
element (referred to as a child selector).
Another type of selector is the adjacent sibling selector (div +.myclass
) which allows you to choose an element that directly follows another specified element.
To wrap it up, there's also div ~.myclass
which is a general sibling combinator selector; similar to the adjacent sibling combinator selector, but the selected element doesn't have to immediately follow the first element, it can appear anywhere after it.
