3,087 PointsAdjacent Sibling Combinators
I don't understand how the adjacent sibling combinators work in the code below:
.btn + .btn {
margin-left: 20px;
}
why does the reset button get a left margin but not the submit button?
Thanks!!

231,268 PointsWhile it may be called an adjacent sibling selector, it's actually a following sibling selector. So ".btn + .btn
" will select an element with class btn that immediately follows another element with the same class.
If you have two buttons of this class, the second one will be selected but the first will not be.
