Question
What other common CSS syntax errors should I look out for?
Answer
Beyond making sure your CSS declarations are separated using a semicolon, be on the lookout for other syntax issues in your CSS like:
- incorrect syntax for selectors, e.g.
class
selectors begin with a period:.class-name
- making sure each declaration block starts with an opening curly brace,
{
, and ends with a closing curly brace}
- using correct syntax for CSS property names and values, ex:
background-color: lightblue;
notbackground color: light-blue;
- separating property name from the value with a colon
- typos
