Element Selector
The element selector in CSS is one of the most fundamental and commonly used selectors. It allows you to apply styles to all HTML elements of a specific tag type (like p, h1, div, etc.) across your webpage.
Key Point
- Targets all instances of a specific HTML tag.
- Useful for applying consistent styling across multiple elements.
- Ideal for global styles such as fonts, colors, margins, or alignment.
- Helps maintain design uniformity and reduce repetitive code.
Syntax:
elementname { property: value; /* Additional properties and values */}- elementname: Any HTML tag like p, div, h1, a, etc.
- property: The CSS property you want to apply (like color, text-align).
- value: The value assigned to that property.
Example:
<!DOCTYPE html><html>
<head> <style> p { text-align: center; color: blueviolet; } </style></head>
<body> <p>This property will be applied on every paragraph.</p> <p id="para1">Welcome to!</p> <p>Quipoin!</p></body>
</html>Output:

Tips
- Use element selectors to apply broad styles site-wide (e.g., all paragraphs or headings).
- Combine with class or ID selectors when you need more specific styling.
- Avoid over-styling all elements with global selectors like * unless necessary.
