This is my HTML code (I am practicing HTML!) and CSS file:
/*styling the child, descendants*/
/*Individual selectors*/
* {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}
body {
background-color: #DC836F;
font-family: century, times, sans-serif;
font-size: 12px;
/*base size*/
}
/*group selectors*/
body h1,
h2 {
margin: 10px 5px;
padding: 10px 5px;
font-family: Courier New;
color: #76565C;
}
.primary-class,
.secondary-class {
border: solid 15px;
border-color: #DC836F;
margin: 5% 10%;
padding: 2% 2%;
text-align: center;
}
/*Descendant selectors*/
body h1 {
font-size: 3em;
font-weight: 800;
text-align: center;
}
body h2 {
font-size: 2em;
font-weight: 600;
text-align: justify;
}
body h1 em {
color: #E0C1A5;
font-weight: 700;
font-family: monospace;
}
.primary-class {
background-color: #E0C1A5;
font-family: Trebuchet MS;
}
/*********************MY DOUBT IS HERE***********************/
/*
.primary-class h2{
text-align: inherit;
}*/

MY PROBLEM:
I have a
<h2>
tag in<div primary-class>
withtext-align: center;
So, if we style as mentioned above, then I should see everything inside the<div primary-class> right?
----Note: I also tried entering these in
<body>
. primary-class and<h2>
tag styling also, but none worked except for the above mention section!---------text-align: center; align-content: center; align-items: center;
Please let me know where I went wrong, or is it what is it like, we have implicitly style the html tags within our CSS?
THANKS IN ADVANCE FOR YOUR REPLY! - I am still a newbie to Stackoverflow! - will learn to be more concise and ethical next time!
CodePudding user response:
An
h2
element hastext-align: inherit
by default, but you have:body h2 { text-align: justify; }
… so the text is justified instead of inheriting it alignment rules from
<div >
Use the developer tools Inspector in your browser to see which rules are applied to an element:
