In this article, we would like to show you the general sibling combinator (tilde selector) example in CSS.

Quick solution:

div ~ p {
  background-color: red;
}

 

Practical example

In this section, we present example usage of the tilde selector (~) which selects all iterations of the second element, which are followed by the first element. The elements don't have to be specified right after.

// ONLINE-RUNNER:browser;

<!doctype html>
<html>
  <head>
    <style>

      div ~ p {
        background: yellow;
      }

    </style>
  </head>
  <body>
    <div>div element</div>
    <p>p element.</p>
    <p>p element.</p>
    <div>div element.</div>
    <p>p element.</p>
    <p>p element.</p>
  </body>
</html>
