| Type selectors | E | any element E |
| Descendant selectors | E F | any element F that is a descendant of element E |
| Child selectors | E > F | any element F that is a child of element E |
| Adjacent selectors | E + F | any element F immediately preceded by a sibling element E |
| Attribute selectors | E[foo] | any element E with a "foo" attribute |
| [foo] | *[foo] | |
| E[foo="bar"] | any element E whose "foo" attribute value is "bar" | |
| E[foo~="bar"] | any element E whose "foo" attribute is a list of space-separated values, one of which is equal to "bar" | |
| E[foo="bar"] | any element E whose "foo" attribute has a hyphen-separated list of values beginning with "bar" | |
| Class selectors | E.bar | E[class~="bar"] |
| .bar | *.bar | |
| ID selectors | E#bar | any element E with ID equal to "bar" |
| #bar | *#bar | |
| Pseudo-classes | E:first-child | any element E that is the first child of its parent |
