Adjacent sibling combinator A + B

The Adjacent sibling combinator represents a "B" element that is placed immediately after a "A" element.


Syntax

A + B{ preperties }


Point, Note

  • The adjacent sibling combinator is made of the "plus sign" (+) character that separates two sequences of simple selectors.
  • The elements represented by the two sequences share the same parent in the document tree.

Example

[style.css]

 h1 + p{
   background-color: yellow;
 }


[index.html]

<body>
<h1>Header</h1>
<p>This is a paragraph.</p>
<p>This is a paragraph.</p>
</body>

The CSS Selectors Level 3 specification defines the Adjacent sibling combinator in 8.3.1. Adjacent sibling combinator.
