• Video CSS - Set & style with CSS class

Instructions

If you look at your page, you can observe that some elements come in pairs: the eyes, the arms, and the legs. They are the same organ, one on the left and one on the right; they have exactly the same shape. So for practicality and to avoid repeating the same style twice, we're not going to use their id to style them, but a class. Unlike an id, a class can be attributed to several different elements with common rulesets, so the style defined for that class will apply to all the HTML elements that have it.

Task 1

Create the following three classes, set them with the given rulesets, and attribute them to the corresponding HTML elements:

• Class eye:
  • width of 60 pixels
  • height of 60 pixels
  • background-color "red"
  • border-radius of 50%
  • Attributed to eye-left & eye-right
• Class arm:
  • background-color "aquamarine"
  • Attributed to arm-left & arm-right
• Class leg:
  • background-color "dodgerblue"
  • Attributed to leg-left & leg-right

Note that you can attribute several classes to the same element. Create the class body-member, which sets the width to 50 pixels and the margin to 30 pixels, and add it to the class attribute of these elements: arm-left, arm-right, leg-left, & leg-right.

Code examples

Declare a class my-first-class and style it with a color to "blue" and a background-color to "pink":

.my-first-class {
  color: blue;
  background-color: pink;
}

Apply classes to HTML elements:

<div class="my-first-class"></div>
<div class="another-class"></div>
<div class="my-first-class another-class"></div>
