CSS Type Selectors

In an HTML document, CSS Type Selectors match an element based on the element's node name (ex. the node name for  is   and for   it's  ). This is one of the most common selectors of all, due to its simplicity of understanding and since it is one of the first things you learn in CSS.

Example:

Title  span { text-decoration:underline; }           br { clear:both; }           p { text-indent:50px; color:green; }     This is green underlined text with a 50px indent.

This is not. It is only cleared from both sides.
