I have recently started learning development, and I am practicing HTML & CSS by following tutorials on YouTube.
In one of the tutorial videos, the instructor explained advanced selectors, including adjacent and general sibling combinators.
For example: h2 + a {}, h2 ~ p {}
When I tried these selectors as demonstrated, they worked. However, when I attempted to use them on ul + li, tr ~ td, it did not work as expected.
Can someone please explain why this is?
h2 ~ p {
color: red;
}
ul + li {
color: purple;
} <h2 class="subtitle">About Me</h2>
