Challenge: Use Attribute Selectors to Style Elements
Link to the challenge:
every think between the opening <
and the closing one >
is attribute , this include classes
id
and in your case type
. note you can use name
as well
so looking at the challenge code.
<input type="checkbox" name="personality">
it asking you to change checkbox
input but not radio
, text
, or submit
knowing that between anything in<input .... >
is attribute,
input [attribute="value"] {
}
you can select the attribute type
with value checkbox
to change the css style
which resulted in this
[type='checkbox'] {
}
Okay so when I am typing it out it would be like this.
[type=‘checkboxes’] {
margin: 20px 0px 20px 0px;
}
After this I am thinking that I would put this between the: [type=‘checkboxes’] {
margin: 20px 0px 20px 0px;
}
After this, if I am right, I am not sure where to go.
I believe in the where the checkboxes are but not sure on what I should type in. I am trying, I think: input type=“checkboxes” “margin”
But this does not seem to work.
you are overthinking it a bit.
when i said
every think between the opening <
and the closing one >
is attribute , this include classes
id
and in your case type
. note you can use name
as well
it means that this works as class as well
[type='checkbox'] {
}
so if you copy your first code which is
[type='checkbox'] {
margin: 10px 0px 15px 0px; // This is what I have and not sure were to put it
}
and paste it in <style></style>
it will pass the challenge because it’s acting like any selector
would but with different Specificity
After this I am thinking that I would put this between the: [type=‘checkboxes’] {
margin: 20px 0px 20px 0px;
}
if i am understanding this correctly you want it to be more specific to input
tags to be something like
h1 .class {
background-color: red;
}
yes you should to make it more readible so it will be like
tag [attribute="value"] {
background: red;
}
so looking at your code so far you want to add tag before attribute
input [type='checkbox'] {
}
I believe you were right about over thinking it. Thank you for explaining it more because I get it. I am making sure I grasp what I am doing in full.
I wish you well!
