It sounds like you just need to have more specific selectors.
Example:
<h1>This would be green</h1>
<div id="content">
<h1>This would be red</h1>
</div>
h1 {
color: green;
}
#content h1 {
color: red;
}

3,351 PointsThank you guys. I thought discussions were related to each lesson by default. Sorry for not being more specific. I was referring to the Pseudo-Classes-nth-of-type and:only-of-type lesson under Web Design / Advanced Selectors. On 5:05 the instructor is adding text to some previously created divs. I was wondering how to select the text "inside the divs" only and add for example a different color "just" to this element. Thank you
