--description--
Classes are reusable styles that can be added to HTML elements.
Here's an example CSS class declaration:
<style>
.blue-text {
color: blue;
}
</style>
You can see that we've created a CSS class called blue-text
within the <style>
tag. You can apply a class to an HTML element like this: <h2 class="blue-text">CatPhotoApp</h2>
. Note that in your CSS style
element, class names start with a period. In your HTML elements' class attribute, the class name does not include the period.
--instructions--
Inside your style
element, change the h2
selector to .red-text
and update the color's value from blue
to red
.
Give your h2
element the class
attribute with a value of red-text
.
--hints--
Your h2
element should be red.
assert($('h2').css('color') === 'rgb(255, 0, 0)');
Your h2
element should have the class red-text
.
assert($('h2').hasClass('red-text'));
Your stylesheet should declare a red-text
class and have its color set to red
.
assert(code.match(/\.red-text\s*\{\s*color\s*:\s*red;?\s*\}/g));
You should not use inline style declarations like style="color: red"
in your h2
element.
assert($('h2').attr('style') === undefined);
--seed--
--seed-contents--
<style>
h2 {
color: blue;
}
</style>
