css second child with class code example

Example 1: second child css

.YourElementsClass:nth-child(2) {
  /* your styles */
}

Example 2: scss second div child

<section>
   <p>Little</p>
   <p>Piggy</p>    <!-- Want this one -->
</section>
These will do the exact same thing:

p:nth-child(2) { color: red; }
p:nth-of-type(2) { color: red; }
There is a difference though of course.



Our :nth-child selector, in “Plain English,” means select an element if:

It is a paragraph element
It is the second child of a parent
Our :nth-of-type selector, in “Plain English,” means:

Select the second paragraph child of a parent
