CSS Grouping Selectors

The CSS Universal Selector

The universal selector (*) selects all HTML elements on the page.

Example

The CSS rule below will affect every HTML element on the page: *

{
text-align: center;
color: blue;
}

The CSS Grouping Selector

The grouping selector selects all the HTML elements with the same style definitions. Look at the following CSS code (the h1, h2, and p elements have the same style definitions): h1

{
text-align: center;
color: red;
}

h2

{
text-align: center;
color: red;
}

p

{
text-align: center;
color: red;
}

It will be better to group the selectors, to minimize the code. To group selectors, separate each selector with a comma.

Example

In this example we have grouped the selectors from the code above: h1, h2, p

{
text-align: center;
color: red;
}
