CSS Type Selector

What is a CSS Type Selector?

The type selector specifies the name of an element. This matches all occurrences of the named elements. More than one element can be specified by separating the element names with commas. In the following example, the text-align property will be set to left for all <h3> elements and will be set to center for all <p>, <h1>, and <h2> elements.

CSS Example:

  h3 {text-align: left;}
  p, h1, h2 {text-align: center;}

  <h1>The h1 text-align set to center.</h1>
  <h2>The h2 text-align set to center.</h2>
  <h3>The h3 text-align set to left.</h3>
  <p>The p text-align set to center.</p>
