class and id css property

Question

I've a div called #descr-two and a h2 and p. In css code two rules are used:

#descr-two h2 {color: #323232;}
#descr-two p {color: #323232;}

It works, but my goal is a clean and compact code, this code doesn't work:

#descr-two h2, p {color: #323232;}

Why? Where is the error? Thanks.

You Need a # before descr-two in the CSS and in the HTML you should use it like id="descr-two". — WasteD

Your rule will select all p tags you need to include the id identifier #descr-two h2, #descr-two p. — Hidden Hobbes

Add the #descr-tw identifier also for the p selector

#descr-two h2, #descr-two p {color: #323232;}

supposing this descr-two is a name not an id use this:

descr-two h2, descr-two p {color: #323232;}

if it is an id you should include '#':

#descr-two h2, #descr-two p {color: #323232;}
