My question comes from a flexbox lesson, here i extract a piece of code:
<style>
body {
font-family: Arial, sans-serif;
}
header, footer {
display: flex;
flex-direction: row;
}
header .profile-thumbnail {
width: 50px;
height: 50px;
border-radius: 4px;
}
header .profile-name {
display: flex;
flex-direction: column;
margin-left: 10px;
}
header .follow-btn {
display: flex;
margin: 0 0 0 auto;
}
header .follow-btn button {
border: 0;
border-radius: 3px;
padding: 5px;
}
header h3, header h4 {
display: flex;
margin: 0;
}
#inner p {
margin-bottom: 10px;
font-size: 20px;
}
#inner hr {
margin: 20px 0;
border-style: solid;
opacity: 0.1;
}
footer .stats {
display: flex;
font-size: 15px;
}
footer .stats strong {
font-size: 18px;
}
footer .stats .likes {
margin-left: 10px;
}
footer .cta {
margin-left: auto;
}
footer .cta button {
border: 0;
background: transparent;
}
</style>
What i don’t understand is; why the classes are written next to “header”, like header .class-name .
Can someone explain me the reason for it?
Here i leave the lesson link
