Target The 2Nd Instance of a CSS Class

Target the 2nd instance of a CSS Class

There are two pseudo-selectors that accomplish what you're looking for.

.media-link:nth-child(2) {
  // here style 
}

or

.media-link:nth-of-type(2){
  // here style
}

Selecting the second occurrence of a class with CSS?

You can use this with selectors level 3 to select those that aren't the first one :

.orange ~ .orange {
}

Demonstration

The best is to complete the style with a rule describing the other .orange elements :

.orange, .orange ~ .orange ~ .orange {
}

Demonstration

CSS3 selector to find the 2nd div of the same class

UPDATE: This answer was originally written in 2008 when nth-of-type support was unreliable at best. Today I'd say you could safely use something like .bar:nth-of-type(2), unless you have to support IE8 and older.

Original answer from 2008 follows (Note that I would not recommend this anymore!):

If you can use Prototype JS you can use this code to set some style values, or add another classname:

// set style:
$$('div.theclassname')[1].setStyle({ backgroundColor: '#900', fontSize: '1.2em' });
// OR add class name:
$$('div.theclassname')[1].addClassName('secondclass'); // pun intentded...

(I didn't test this code, and it doesn't check if there actually is a second div present, but something like this should work.)

But if you're generating the html serverside you might just as well add an extra class on the second item...

Target specific instance of CSS class

With jQuery:

$("div.item:eq(2)").addClass("test");

Demo

Is there a way to individually target multiple CSS classes at once?

Use a comma.

.nav-1:hover,
.nav-2:hover,
.nav-3:hover {
  color: #fc9426;
}

Although I don't have any markup to go off of, it looks like you could create a helper/modifier class instead of defining the same thing over and over again.

It might look something like this:

[class^="nav-"] {  margin: 1rem 0;  padding: 0 1rem;  min-height: 3rem;  color: #333;  font: 1rem/3rem Arial, sans-serif;  border-bottom: 1px solid black;}
/** * Utility/Modifier style properties that * any nav could add to their base of styles. */.nav-branded {  color: white;  background-color: #fc643c;}.nav-branded:hover {  background-color: hotpink;}
/** * These classes have styles specific to  * each class (acts like an ID but  * without the specificity). */.nav-1 {  /* Waiting for some styles. */}.nav-2 {  border-bottom-width: 4px;}.nav-3 {  border-bottom-style: dashed;}

<nav class="nav-1 nav-branded">Nav One</nav><nav class="nav-2">Nav Two</nav><nav class="nav-3 nav-branded">Nav Three</nav>

Target a css class inside another css class

Not certain what the HTML looks like (that would help with answers). If it's

<div class="testimonials content">stuff</div>

then simply remove the space in your css. A la...

.testimonials.content { css here }

UPDATE:

Okay, after seeing HTML see if this works...

.testimonials .wrapper .content { css here }

or just

.testimonials .wrapper { css here }

or

.desc-container .wrapper { css here }

all 3 should work.
