WGU Courses and Certificates Web-Development-Applications Question # 20 Topic 3 Discussion

To apply a red font color to the navigation, footer, and the first two of three paragraphs on a website, the correct CSS would use the content attribute to achieve the desired styling. However, the term "content" isn't correct in the given context. The appropriate answer involves directly specifying styles for these elements using CSS selectors.

Here’s the correct CSS:

nav, footer, p.standard:nth-of-type(1), p.standard:nth-of-type(2) {

color: red;

}

Explanation:

CSS Selectors: The selectors nav, footer, p.standard:nth-of-type(1), and p.standard:nth-of-type(2) are used to target the specific elements. The nth-of-type pseudo-class is used to select the first and second paragraphs.

Applying Styles: The color: red; style rule sets the text color to red for the specified elements.
