Which selector would win?

Does a chained selector have a higher specificity than a class or ID selector? For example, which selector would win: .special or h1.special or #special?

If multiple selectors target on the same element, the result would based on specificity and the rule order. Don't forget there's a reason it's called Cascading Style Sheets, anything come after will override the previous one. 😉 More info on specificity:- https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/Specificity
