Adjacent sibling
Specifies an adjacent sibling relationship between selector elements.
Syntax
E + F { sRules }
Possible values
|
E |
String that specifies the name of a document language element type or simple selector. |
|
F |
String that specifies the name of a document language element type or simple selector. |
|
sRules |
String that specifies one or more cascading style sheet property/value pairs. |
Remarks
The adjacent sibling combinator is a plus-sign character (+) that separates two simple selectors. White space is not significant.
A selector of the form "E+F" matches element F when it follows sibling element E in the document tree, ignoring non-element nodes (such as text nodes and comments). Elements E and F must share the same parent and E must immediately precede F. To match the first child of the parent, use the :first-child pseudo-class.
Example
The following example reduces the vertical space that separates an H1 element and the H2 element that immediately follows it:
<style>
h1 + h2 {margin-top: -5mm;}
</style>
