AppDynamics Most Frequently Asked Latest CSS Interview Questions Answers
What Is Selector?
CSS selector is equivalent of HTML element(s). It is a string identifying to which element(s) the corresponding declaration(s) will apply and as such the link between the HTML document and the style sheet.
For example in P {text-indent: 10pt} the selector is P and is called type selector as it matches all instances of this element type in the document.
in P, UL {text-indent: 10pt} the selector is P and UL (see grouping); in .class {text-indent: 10pt} the selector is .class (see class selector).
What Is Css Rule At-rule ?
There are two types of CSS rules
ruleset and at-rule. At-rule is a rule that applies to the whole style sheet and not to a specific selector only (like in ruleset). They all begin with the @ symbol followed by a keyword made up of letters a-z, A-Z, digits 0-9, dashes and escaped characters, e.g. @import or @font-face.

Some Examples Of Good And Bad Coding. What Is Wrong With This?
<font size="3">Welcome to my page</font>
Comment: The font-tag is design and design shouldn’t be in the HTML document. All design should be in the CSS-file! Instead do this
In the HTML
<h1>Welcome to my page</h1>
In the CSS
h1 { font-size: 2em; }
One more example
<b>An error occurred</b>
This looks right doesn’t it? But if you look up what <b> stands for you quickly find bold. But bold is certainly design, so it still doesn’t belong in the HTML document. A better choice is <em> that stands for emphasis or simply “this piece of text is important”. So instead of saying “this text looks like this” you are saying “this text is important” and you let the looks be decided by the CSS. Seems like a minor change, but it illustrates how to select your tags. Use this instead
In the HTML
<em>An error occured</em>
In the CSS
em {
font-weight: bold;
color: Red;
}
One last example
<table>
<tr><td><a href="">first link</a></td></tr>
<tr><td><a href="">second link</a></td></tr>
...
</table>
