CSS | Class Selector

Difficulty Level : Basic
Last Updated : 02 Jan, 2019

The .class selector is used to select all elements which belong to a particular class attribute. To select the elements with a particular class, use (.) character with specifying class name. Class name is mostly used to set the CSS property to given class.

Syntax:

.class {
    // CSS property
}

Example 1:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
    <head>
        <style>
            .geeks {
                color:green;
            } 
            .gfg {
                background-color: yellow;
                font-style:italic;
                color:green;
            }
          
        </style>
    </head>
      
    <body style = "text-align:center">
          
        <h1 class = "geeks">
            GeeksforGeeks
        </h1>
          
        <h2>.class Selector</h2>
          
        <div class = "gfg">
            <p>GeeksforGeeks: A computer science portal</p>
        </div>
    </body>
</html>
