Courses Plus Student 8,099 PointsThanks again for explaining it to me i was lost for a while
Niclas Hilmersson
8,296 PointsYes it would. But why he is using that is because of specificity. He just wants to be very specific on what he targets to not cause problems in the future if you add different elements with the same class.

Courses Plus Student 8,099 PointsSo p.classname means all the classes which are in the <p> tag?
Saud Tauqeer
Courses Plus Student 8,099 PointsAll the classes as in whatever the class name is specified

Courses Plus Student 8,099 PointsSo if there is a <h1> which also has a class of description. It wont be targeted right? Because p.desciption will explicitly target description in p tag across the document.
