What is the correct sintax if I want to use the nth-child in two different lists?

Hi,

If I have 2 ul, how can I target them separately? I want them to have different values. How can I make the difference between both of them?

Thank you!!

Hi Ariel,

Simply use a "class" for your two ul. Maybe use .listOne and .listTwo then you can target them separately.

Hope this helps.

Hi Ariel,

If you want both lists to see the same CSS when using nth-child then a class is the best way to go about, just be sure the class comes after your initial CSS for your lists otherwise the styles won't overwrite anything your doing within nth-child.

Hope that helps.
