    CSS type selectors – define style by element name

    on Apr 6, 2016

    The CSS type selector matches element by node name (e.g. div, h1. h2). This can be used to specify CSS style based on element type.

    Here is the syntax for defining style using type selector.

    element { style properties }
    

    Example – div style using type selector

    <style>
    div {
      width: 100px; height:100px;
      background-color: lightgreen;
    }
    </style>
    
    <div>
      Hello world
    </div>
    refresh done
    try it online
