TIPS

What if I want only some of the styles to apply

to all of the elements?

You can use combined style declarations to apply

styles to multiple elements, and then include

separate rules to apply different styles to individual

elements. For example, you could create a combined

style similar to that shown in this section to set all

of your headings to the same font and color, and

then add individual style declarations for each

heading level in which you set different font sizes.

Does the order in which I list the elements in a

combined rule matter?

No. You can list them in any order. However, if you

have both the combined selector and individual

selectors for elements, and the individual selectors

contain rules that contradict those in the combined

selector, the rule that you want to apply must

appear last in your style sheet.

● When you view your page

in a Web browser, all of the

specified elements share the

same styles.
