Chapter 2. Selectors
Once of the primary advantages of CSS—particularly to
designers—is its ability to easily apply a set of styles to all
elements of the same type. Unimpressed? Consider this: by editing a
single line of CSS, you can change the colors of all your headings.
Don't like the blue you're using?
Change that one line of code, and they can all be purple, yellow,
maroon, or any other color you desire. That lets you, the designer,
focus on design, rather than grunt work. The next time
you're in a meeting and someone wants to see
headings with a different shade of green, just edit your style and
hit Reload. Voilà! The results are
accomplished in seconds and are there for everyone to see.
Of course, CSS can't solve all your
problems—you can't use it to change the color
of your GIFs, for example—but it can make some global changes
much easier. So let's begin with selectors and
structure.
