CSS selector help: add a tag within a class

[Veerle (Veerle Pieters)]

Hi, I basically just have a feature request: being able to ad tags within a specific class like

.sidebox-text p { color: #666; }

This was previously posted years ago (but the post is closed):

Custom CSS selectors

I can see there is some work being done on the css selector part of the UI which is great. I’d really like to be able to see a few features, I really miss the ability to target specific tags within a class or id, for instance I’d like to be able to style all tags within a specific class. Also pseudo-classes would be very helpful. I know anything can be targeted by creating a new class, but these features would really help developers and would come into play a lot more, especially with the …

Just wondering why something so basic like this is still not possible to do in Webflow, or am I missing something?

This would help me a great deal (instead of having to add a class on each p instead, because the global p styles need to be overwritten), just for dynamic CMS content reasons only.

I searched around to find the right place to add this request but couldn’t find anything so I’m posting this here.

Thanks,
Veerle P.

Hi @Veerle

The Rich Text field allows you to do this. Not sure if that’s of any help in what you’re trying to achieve.

Also, if you want to request a feature, there is the Webflow wishlist.

Hi @Smith-Cordell ,

Thanks and sorry for my very late reply (somehow I didn’t get a notification). I see what you mean, but then this p style is adapted for “all” the rich text fields. I need to be able to style more specific for 1 particular paragraph text.

E.g. in my situation: I have a side column and I have a main column with p text. In the main content the p text takes up 75% of the total width. With this style set it affects the text in the side column. In the column it needs to stay to “auto”.

I’ve searched a bit deeper and found this video in this thread which helps:

How to define CSS descendant selectors in Webflow

Hello, I would like to apply a specific style to a class if it is inside a specific parent class (CSS element element Selector). See below example for which I would like to set CSS for .my-ul-class .my-div-class ul . Is this possible with Webflow? <div class="my-div-class"> <ul class="my-ul-class"> ... </ul> </div> Thanks!
