CSS selectors?
Hi,
I'm new to CSS and just wondering why some selectors start with a dot and some with a hash and some with nothing?
EG:
.center table
text-align: left;
}
#contentBottom {
background:white url('images/backbottom.gif') no-repeat;
}
a{text-decoration: underline;color: blue;}
Thanx

table = the table element
<table> ... </table>#contentBottom = the single element with this ID
<div id="contentBottom"> ... </div>.center = any and all elements with this class
<div class="center"> ... </p>HTH
Cordially, David

The id selector is used to specify a style for a single, unique element.
The id selector uses the id attribute of the HTML element, and is defined with a "#".
