Perhaps someone has seen, or has a definitive answer to this question
which has the higher specificity
h1 {}
or
h1, h2 {}
(don't worry about the order in the style sheet, just in an absolute sense)
Specificity is exactly the same. Refer to "5.2.1 Grouping"
"When several selectors share the same declarations, they may be grouped into a comma-separated list.
Example(s):
In this example, we condense three rules with identical declarations into one. Thus,
h1 { font-family: sans-serif }
h2 { font-family: sans-serif }
h3 { font-family: sans-serif }is equivalent to:
h1, h2, h3 { font-family: sans-serif }
"http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/selector.html#grouping
> "count the number of element names and pseudo-elements in the selector" > > I interpret to mean that the group is of specificity 2, and so higher > than the type selector, of specificity 1 > Or do they both have a specificity of 1?
Grouping is merely a shorthand. h1,h2 does not count as a single selector of specificity 2, but two separate selectors of specificity 1.
