• Video CSS - Set & style with CSS class

Instructions

Alright, your being is almost done, some elements still need a bit more shaping and then we'll make it come to life! If you look at your page, you can observe that some elements come by pair: the eyes, the arms & the legs. It is the same organ, one on the left and one on the right ; they have exactly the same shape, so for practicity & to avoid to repeat twice the same style, we're not going to use their id to style them, but a class ; contrary to an id, a class can be attributed to several different elements with common rulesets, and so the style defined for that class will apply to all the HTML elements that have it.

Create the 3 following classes, setting them with the given rulesets, & 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 a same element ; create the class body-member, which set the width to 50 pixels and the margin to 30 pixels, and add it to the class attribute of those 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>
