In brief

The purpose of this tutorial is to give the new users of HTML_CSS an overview of its features and usage patterns. It describes a small subset of available functionality, but points to the parts of the documentation that give a more in-depth overview.

Selectors are one of the most important aspects of CSS as they are used to "select" elements on an HTML page so that they can be styled. We will try to explain basic concepts, and how to do the same with HTML_CSS.

A complete tutorial about CSS selectors can be find at maxDesign.
