<p>For a beginner-level introduction to the syntax of CSS selectors, please see <a href="/en-US/docs/Learn/CSS/Introduction_to_CSS/Selectors">this tutorial</a>. Be aware that any <a href="/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/syntax">CSS syntax</a> error in a rule definition invalidates the entire rule. Invalid rules are ignored by the browser. Note that CSS rule definitions are entirely (ASCII) <a href="https://www.w3.org/TR/css-syntax-3/#intro">text-based</a>, whereas DOM-CSS / CSSOM (the rule management system) is <a href="https://www.w3.org/TR/cssom/#introduction">object-based</a>.</p>
<h3 id="At-rule_syntax">At-rule syntax</h3>
<p>As the structure of at-rules varies widely, please see <a href="/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/At-rule">At-rule</a> to find the syntax of the specific one you want.</p>

<h2 id="Selectors">Selectors</h2>
<p>The following are the various <a href="/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/CSS_Selectors">selectors</a>, which allow styles to be conditional based on various features of elements within the DOM.</p>
<h3 id="Simple_selectors">Simple selectors</h3>
<p><strong>Simple selectors</strong> are fundamental selectors; these are the most basic selectors that are frequently combined to create other, more complex selectors.</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/Type_selectors">Type selector</a> <code>elementname</code></li>
<li><a href="/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/Class_selectors">Class selector</a> <code>.classname</code></li>
<li><a href="/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/ID_selectors">ID selector</a> <code>#idname</code></li>
<li><a href="/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/Universal_selectors">Universal selector</a> <code>*</code>, <code>ns|*</code>, <code>*|*</code>, <code>|*</code></li>
<li><a href="/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/Attribute_selectors">Attribute selectors</a> <code>[attr=value]</code></li>
</ul>
<h3 id="Combinators">Combinators</h3>
<p>Combinators are selectors that establish a relationship between two or more simple selectors, such as "A is a child of B" or "A is adjacent to B."</p>
<dl>
<dt><a href="/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/Adjacent_sibling_combinator">Adjacent sibling combinator</a> <code>A + B</code></dt>
<dd>Specifies that the elements selected by both <code>A</code> and <code>B</code> have the same parent and that the element selected by <code>B</code> immediately follows the element selected by <code>A</code> horizontally.</dd>
<dt><a href="/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/General_sibling_combinator">General sibling combinator</a> <code>A ~ B</code></dt>
<dd>Specifies that the elements selected by both <code>A</code> and <code>B</code> share the same parent and that the element selected by <code>A</code> comes before—but not necessarilyl immediately before—the element selected by <code>B</code>.</dd>
<dt><a href="/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/Child_combinator">Child combinator</a> <code>A > B</code></dt>
<dd>Specifies that the element selected by <code>B</code> is the direct child of the element selected by <code>A</code>.</dd>
<dt><a href="/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/Descendant_combinator">Descendant combinator</a> <code>A B</code></dt>
<dd>Specifies that the element selected by <code>B</code> is a descendant of the element selected by A, but is not necessarily a direct child.</dd>
<dt><a href="/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/Column_combinator">Column combinator</a> <code>A || B</code> {{Experimental_Inline}}</dt>
<dd>Specifies that the element selected by <code>B</code> is located within the table column specified by <code>A</code>. Elements which span multiple columns are considered to be a member of all of those columns.</dd>
