Styling the List

To style this list, you will need to use selectors that target the <ul>, <li>, and <a> elements. To make sure you do not target every instance of these elements on the page, you will need to include the unique identifier, navigation, within each selector. The four selectors that you will use are shown in Listing 15.2.

What Are Selectors?

Selectors are used to "select" elements on an HTML page so that they can be styled.
